Alternating Bending Hands

[Vahagn]

With the Addition of 1.9's Off hand, I want to suggest that certain moves alternate their starting hand, from the off hand to the main hand. Such as lets say I air blast somebody, instead of it starting in the same location it would start closer to your left hand the next time you launch it.

This would happen for every basic move, such as airblast, earthblast, fireblast, watermanipulation. when you launch it I
you can suppress the animation of the right arm, and instead I do beleive you can play the animation of the left arm clicking, which would act like a punch. I was wondering if it would be possible to do this with chi, but I am not sure.

I believe it will be a confusing mechanic. Sometimes right click may be required when the main hand is holding... let's say a word (and we all know right click 'works' when you're clicking something physical or using an item (usually swords weild hs bending disable on most servers) ). Correct me If I'm wrong, because I really haven't tested off-hand feature to the fullest.

It would be a small feature that would be aesthetically pleasing, looking into!

No, this would only apply to bending. Like if you were holding an item it wouldn't work.

The only way to activate off-hand is by holding an item in the selected main-hand slot or putting it in the off-hand slot. @Simplicitee @jedk1 @OmniCypher, maybe this limit can be over comed in means of code?

Its just the animation, I beleive you can play the animation.

Animation? How does it look like?

The same as if you have a torch in your right arm and you place it.
