OMFG!!!! THIS NOOB
Air is not defense. I wouldn't believe everything the wiki tells you. Air is the element of freedom, and what's more free than mobility? Nothing. They even have the move called flight. Earth is the most defensive.
Which is why air has an ability called AirSHIELD, which, if you type /b h airshield, calls itself "the most powerful defensive move". Sorry mate, Air was meant to be the defensive one. Also look on the wiki on airbending, and it will say that Airbending is primarily defensive. No worries.
Dude, if you're really that concerned that rune changed it, go on spiritcraft. That's RUN by Kiam. Try it there. Also, if airshield blocks water moves, why would it be stupid? Are you scared I'll prove you right? Go on. Do it, and record video of it. Post it here. Then we'll see.
In the anime, almost all of aang's airbending in combat is defensive. he hardly ever uses damaging moves, and deflects projectiles. He even makes an minor Airshield like the one I described in the catacombs under Ba'sing'se, and the main constituent of the Elemental Avatar Sphere is an Airshield. the fact is, air is defensive, not offensive. The only other option I can see is making airstream and airblast redirect projectiles. Now That would be about right.
Actually I can because
A: Earth uses neutral jing "waiting and listening" defensive "for the right moment to strike" offensive. King Bumi backs me up here. While earth is the more defensive of earth and water, it is meant to be a mix of both offense and defense.
No, benders have all different types of styles. That was his jing he used when his city was taken. It had nothing to do with his bending.
Air is faster than the other elements, literally it gives you speed and jump boost. If you can't overpower someone then just run circled around them.
I believe I said this before. Air is more mobility based.
Who said I am searching for a server? I love BH, and I love FH even more.
Your points on fire I totally agree with. Yes, no more should be done for fire, lightning is the correct counter, alongside blaze, etc. However, I disagree with your opinion on the blocking of water and earth. I have been hit with water and earth hundreds of times with airshield up, make no mention of the fact that airswipe, essentially a blade of moving air, cannot be blocked BY MOVING AIR. Metalclips I am unsure about, but yes I believe it may be blocked because it uses a drop as a projectile.
FH?Which one's that? And now I believe you're deliberately attempting to misunderstand me. All I want is video proof from you that airshield blocks watermanip/ earthblast. That is all. Do it, or your entire argument is invalid.
Instead of complaining about things people have been working on, try to get some more skill, instead of asking for a move which allows you to just stand there and hold shift till you are on full health again.
I can do you one better. Here is the exact code used for determining what is blocked by airshield:
READ THE START OF THE DAMN THREAD!!!! You can't just camp and hold shift, the shield would have a time limit LIKE I STATED AT THE VERY BEGINNING. If you're going to sit and criticise without even reading what a wrote as the damn premise, then why can't you just leave, and save us all time. We HAVE airshield. It needs improvement. I am suggesting an improvement that reduces some OP issues and actually solves others. Do you really WANT everyone to just spam basic attacks?
Do I spam basic attacks when I am an airbender? No. I use airblast, airburst, airswipe, and airsweep (And AirPunch, custom move made for a server) to attack.
Thanks for the clarification. Fireblast and combustion I knew, but personally I have never seen a successful block of watermanip or earthblast, perhaps that should be checked by admin? Regardless, surely airshield should block its own offensive move, airswipe? You're firing an air current at another air current, the airswipe shouldn't just pass straight through. In any case, removing only four relatively basic moves is hardly "the most powerful defensive move", is it? As I suggested at the start of the thread, the minor airshield would block these, though personally I would be happy with combustion not being blocked by the minor airshield, but the major airshield would be slower to charge, like a tornado, but far more powerful. Given that Aang redirected the equivalent of a giant earthsmash with a tornado when fighting King Bumi, and blasted straight through all of Ozai's comet-enhanced firebending and various columns of rock with the avatar airshield, I don't think blocking most of the moves, aside from some, obviously (I would suggest that octopusform is unblockable), is beyond a major, slow-charged airshield. I mean, the charge time can be played around with, but I feel the premise is sound.
Answer the statement, don't avoid it talking about the spamming. Have you read the bit is the VERY FIRST COMMENT where I talked about the major version of airshield having a timer? Well, guess what, I SUGGESTED A TIMER SPECIFICALLY TO STOP CAMPING! RTFM, dude. So your comment about camping until health has regened fully shows both your laziness and your ignorance.
First off, you do not need to be rude. Second he doesn't have to do anything.
If you haven't, that suggests that the move wasn't being used correctly, or the airshield was not fully formed yet. And no, airbending was shown to block airbending pretty well in the show. All the elements do in fact, they block their own element pretty well. Or have a way to dodge or redirect.
