Default Trick Arrow for Contollers?

On the CoH main page there's the link to the feature update for Issue 5. So I go and check this out and see that Controllers are also getting the Sonic and Trick Arrow sets. Now I thought that Controllers should have gotten the Sonic set to begin with. But Trick Arrow?? So these Controllers can use their bow to shoot trick arrows that debuff foes but are incapable of firing normal arrows that deal any actual damage? This seems totally unrealistic to me and it feels like this was done as a reaction to people that felt more powers should have been added then just Sonic and Trick Arrow to the Blaster/Defender archetypes.

Thoughts?

It can't be any more out of place than any of the Controller's other Secondaries. Apparently, the devs believe that if you want a unified theme, you shouldn't be playing a Controller.

I can't see anyone ever using it, though. Except to point out the inanity of the situation.

My thoughts is this opens up a chance to have a controller ancilliary power set with archery as a basis. So it may not be excessively out of place... If they ever get that Ancilliary set in...

I personally think its dumb because there are no "natural" controller primaries, so to have a completley natural secondary is just retarded to me. Now if they added some type of natural controller primary it would fit just fine i think.

Mind/Sonic
Mind/FF
Ill/FF
Grav/Kin
Earth/Emp
Earth/Rad
Fire/Rad

And I'm sure others, are unified themes. So no, I don't think that's it.

And ALL Controller Primaries are 'Natural', ya just have to make it fit with your character.

What you're saying is that there are no 'weapon' or 'fist/foot' primaries.
