A guy made a post about adding more moves that fire shield could block here:

Upon reading this someone mentioned that fire shield needs a re-work in general, and it gave me a idea for how it would be cool to re-work it.
In the show, whenever fire bender's used a defensive ability, it was a flowing motion. It was like water bending in the way that it flowed, to me atleast.
I think fire shield should get completely changed so that it isn't a circle around you but instead, a flow of fire that blocks/reduces damage of most moves.
How it would work:
You would hold shift then move your mouse in a flowing motion across your screen to flow a fire wall.
This shield would stay active as long as you keep moving your mouse back and forth across your screen, and the wall would follow wherever you are facing.
You would be vulnerable behind you and maybe at your sides?
If the wall got hit too many times it could break and knock you back/setting fire to the ground for impact.
It would either block moves or reduce the damage for most moves.
Some moves could just instantly break the fire wall, possibly an air move.
You could even add this into a combo;
Mini fire burst- combo It with fire burst to fire a wall of fire to wherever you're facing, leaving a trail of fire and having an effect of Fireblast when it hits an opponent (and knocking them back)
Why you should add it:
There's so much you can do with the idea of this move. Expand on combo's, interact with other moves and overall improve fire bending by adding some defence.
The only complication is that the fire shield and firejet combo (jetblast) would either have to be activated some other way or activated with this move, which doesn't really make much sense with the type of move that it is.
How it's balanced:
Firstly, you're still vulnerable behind you and your sides.
Also, if someone breaks it, it could harm you (depending on how it's made)
I would like to note that, people often say ''fire doesn't have much defence''
Well I say, why not? In the show fire had some defence. The moves they used to defend themselves were in the style of the move that I'm explaining.
In general, whether you use this idea or not, fire shield does need a re-work.
I would say it's one of the least used fire moves (aside from when used with combo's)
This idea is open for anyone to use, I would love someone to make this move! (Looking at you Jed)
