Seems only DCUO called it that like Numenor1379?
A Controller in DCUO is not a support class. Without one all other players have extremely limited use of their powers and end up having to resort to weapon attacks. In addition Trolls were usually the second class in terms of Damage Output. Most groups always had a Troll or two (depending on content being run), but both Healers and Tanks couod and would be left off the roster. The system there was a Quartet instead of a Trinity.
