Surge Shield (add-on)

Ah. Isn't 1.8 suffocating you with ice enough? xD
Just put the surge on them and bam.

Ah, Makes sense.

This actually corresponds greatly with the Waterbending principles of turning your offense into defense and visa versa, and using your opponent'a energy against them.

Jew, this sounds kind of similar to the IceWall suggestion I made this morning. I like your version too!

With surge, if you select two sources of water before making the shield, you'll be able to send a wave of water while still holding up the shield, except it won't be ice, just water. Although your suggestion does make a lot of sense, and I would extremely love if water moves were more like this, I don't entirely think that this move should be added because the time creating this could be used to create a different move for water that can benefit us even more.

I agree with this. When I made this suggestion I wasn't thinking they were going to get right on it or anything, and I don't expect them to really start working on it for a while now (if they choose to add this). They need to spend more time improving Sub-Elements and working on bug fixes, but they should keep these small add-ons in mind for later.

What about switching to iceblast and L-clicking will throw the shield. Like a combo. If this gets some positive feedback I will change the original post to this.

OOo how about if you switch to iceblast you can shoot the ice shards like the combo "icebullet"?

Seems kinda op, also too similar to the already existing Ice Bullet.

I liked the idea of just holding shift and double left clicking to shoot the wave, why does this need to be so complex? You hold shift, you double click and your wave is away! Simples! *insert meerkat mew*

good idea!

I think that when this shield is left in a iceform and double on it, it should launch the shield/wave in icestate (as it was suggested here). But thats not all. When the shield is sent to any player/mob, instead of dealing damage to the entity, it would trap the entity inside to it, and suffocating him. If thats too op, then the entity could be suffocated, while player could be pushed to any wall behind him, dealing the walldamage.

I don't think the PK plugin registers R-Clicks unless they're on a block

You do realize that you are going to right click on a water/ice block...

If you rigth click on water, nothing won't happen as it still doesn't register (that's why we have icebullet instead of waterbullet)

Nope, ask a coder to make an addon that consists of right clicking on water to make the ability function. They will probably won't and reply with the same reason why they can't.

Well, because the shield goes where ever you bring your cursor to means that you can always change the shield to ice and then R-click the ice in front of you.

I was legit about to say that we he said it only works on blocks .-.
