Will we ever get a new Primary for controllers?

Water control could be cool. Air is kinda covered by storm summoning, we have ice, earth, fire...only element missing is water!

I also would love to see Water Control. A cool idea would be if there was one water power in the set that worked in conjunction with Electric powers, the same way oil slick and fire powers do.

Yeah, while writing them down I thought it was very similar to rad, not identical though. I think it's mainly great haste that makes it look a lot like rad.

I keep coming back to the fact that there're between 3 and 6 powers readily available from sources like blaster/devices to start out a gadget control in the completely generic fire/earth template: Web Grenade, Taser, Smoke Grenade, Caltrops, Concussion Grenade (Malta; AoE Stun). In fact, I think that if you left Taser a ST Stun, that coupled with the concussion grenade as a sort of generic AoE Stun, you could go pretty far afield with the remaining 4 powers-- even skipping an Aoe Hold and a Pet, and still have a set that conformed reasonably close to controller generic functionality. You could even give it a facimile of Thugs/Pistols and Thugs/Empty Clips on the pattern of other damage tools. Or Cloaking device on the pattern of superior invis. Or (cringe) triage beacon on the pattern of spirit tree.
