So Right now I'd say that the plugin is highly unbalanced. I'd like to come with some suggestions to fix it or at least smooth things out a bit.
(The lines separate the different ability highlights.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first move that desperately needs a Nerf is an obvious one, Metal Clips.
As of right now it is very, very OP. Here's why:
Even if you have 1 metal clip on you, you cannot bend, craft, rearrange your inventory and so on.
Let me repeat, If you get hit with ONE clip! ONE! You are doomed. And it's not like the clips are hard to hit either. Just spam and you're sure to hit.
Suggestions on how to fix:
Cool down:
Give it a serious cool down: After having fired all 4 iron bars go ahead and give it a serious cool down.
An in between cool down: You can only shoot one clip per second, So It can't be spammed.
Reducing the control time:
Reduce the timer of the ability to control someone from 10 seconds to something like 5-3 seconds. And after you have controlled them you would have to refit the clips. I know that this might seem a bit much, which is why I suggest a small buff to compensate/new ability
Launch/trip/throw:
As a buff they could be able to launch someone a few blocks into the air, removing their fall dmg negating passive for enough time for them to take fall DMG. Only so high that they take 2-2.5 hearts worth of fall DMG though, not more than that.

NEXT ABILITY!

The new ability that I think needs a Nerf is the fire benders ability to cool down lava instantaneously.
Contrary to my belief fire benders can in fact cool lava with great concentration using a technique similar to how they would redirect lightning. As such it does not happen instantaneously in the series. They have to stand there concentrating for some time to draw the heat out from the lava in form of.... (Heat? (Air maybe I don't really know") xD
There is a reason fire benders don't do this to lava benders in battle, It is because it is not a battle technique. It is slow and unpractical, turning you into a stationary target for some time. It is not something that should be able to cool down lava faster then the lava bender can create it. As of right now the fire benders can freeze lava throw mid air using heat control. To me this is very, very unrealistic and not fair. Although I will admit is that lava bending needs a Nerf but that is something servers can decide for themselves (Using the configuration options)
(Note, this is only a nerf to cool down lava. Not extinguish fire or melt water.)
Fix suggestions:
Charge time extension
Turn it into a charge ability, something that would be handy while mining and to clear up the aftermath of lava bending but not something that is practical enough to use while battling.
Charge time: 10-15 seconds. This is to make it realistic.
I know you people probably expect me to want to nerf lava. But that nerfing is for the server owners to do with the configurable's. One of the reasons I think things like lava surge is not op is because it is so hard to hit... because of the delay. And yes I know a couple of tips and tricks with lava surge to make it almost instantaneous but the the source is so small you have to be super precise to hit at all.
I think that is about it.... If any of you have any suggestions as to what other abilleties I should compare to the series version please comment down bellow. And don't forget to vote!
