If this is about a Dragonborn Sorcerer, then why do you have Feats for a Dragonborn Fighter? Sure, you could still MC Fighter, but a Sorcerer isn't likely to have the Strength Mod to make use of Draconic Arrogance.

...Not sure if serious...

The MCs are an important part of the build.  The build I favor goes the MC fighter route for a ton of extra damage that is enemy specific (so it doesn't get redirected to you when you rechage).  Others I list for the sake of a nod in their direction.  I do not, for instance, recommend ever adding poison to your arsenal as a breath option, however listing it and rating it using the standard color system (which is the ultimate goal) makes it show that I am attempting to consider all options.

Also, you go 16/16 with the build, so your Str mod will actually be the same as your Cha mod.

I like Ninefold Master and Arcane Sword to get Breath as a true at-will.  Of course, it's level 30 and you don't get a stat bump on the ED, but Breath is an at-will power belonging to the Sorcerer class (if you go sorcerer MC'd into Swordmage or hybrid), and that means the Spellfury feats work with it.

I will make a not to this build, like to the others.  However the purpose of this build is to make it effectively at-will using Atonement to recharge most of the time and a select few powers to recharge the rest of the time.  Generally speaking the EDs are going to be Master of Moments and Avatar of Io.  MoM for the extra move and minor on AP (which both turn into breath weapons) and Avatar for obvious reasons.

Not required. You can use Bolstering Breath to make it friendly/buff and find another way to take damage to recharge. Can slow down the rate of fire, but improves targetting and makes you a little survivable.

 

For the purposes of this build, that is required.  Bolstering Breath would make the build not work as is, so I'm going to mark it red.  If you can come up with a reliable way to recharge your breath that does not involve nusemnee's and does not require another player, I will gladly add it as an option.  Until then, it will be Gold for this build. (Especially considering Lightning Soul, OMG Lightning Soul)

?Gifts for the Queen? 

Silver Dragons Regalia can save a few feat slots.

 

I couldn't remember the name of the regalia at the time and the compendium was down.  It will be added to the list.  There are pieces of the Gifts set that you will, however, be wearing as well.  The 2pc from Gifts is very nice, as is the effect of the ring.  Also, not sure what "feat slots" we are saving with those items.  When I build this more thoroughly I will keep a look out for it.

I appreciate any help people want to give, as far as additions on things such as ED options, feats, items and other such interactions.  Having everyone here to remind me of things is incredibly helpful for the idea dump stage.  Once I get the guide up (this weekend most likely) and start rating things, then I will be shifting things to fine tuning things.

I couldn't remember and my search-fu sucks to be honest. My apologies Matyr.

No worries.  I actually considered necroing that thread at first and then discarded that thought.  My understanding of the system, while still limited, is much better than it was back then.  Hopefully I can make a better guide now that I understand more what things should look like, and what standards I should aspire to.
