Denied PhaseChange

[Green]

Right now phasechange really isn't that useful in battle besides getting out of ice when trapped. So I think adding a new ability to phasechange would be very useful.

Move: PhaseChange
Element: Water/Ice

What it does:

If throw at by torrent, another water bender could freeze it before it hits them, it would be in the same shape as when a bender left clicks it. The ice would disappear in 3 seconds. Range of 8 blocks.

If thrown at by surge freeze that wall befor it freezes you! Left click at the surge that was thrown to stop it in is tracks by freezing it, in the same shape it was when you click it. The ice would disappear in 3.5 seconds. Range of 15 blocks.

When being attacked by a pesky watermanipulation spammer you can freeze the water you are being throw at by them. This one might be more difficult because you have to individually left click all the projectiles being throw at you. The water will turn into ice and disappear in 1 second. Range of 10 blocks.

All of these will have a cool down of 0 seconds.

All I need to read to understand how this'll be bad.
You can just spam left click at the projectiles and they won't hit you.

That's like saying you can spam block earth blast by clicking, but you still get hit. And this move would stop spamming by making the other person switch moves often to kill them.

Earthblast requires a source- though you can spam it just by constantly tapping sneak and left clicking. Here, you don't need a source, and since it has no cooldown- it doesn't matter if they switch moves, you can still spam the shit out of it.

I don't see a need for this part of the suggestion, being that you can just as easily redirect watermanipulation...

Also, surge really shouldn't so easily stopped - all it does is simply push you back, or freeze you! Just take the push..

As for torrent, torrent has always been feared as the move that is 'unstoppable' by regular means, as in you can't as easily dodge it and you cannot redirect it. What many people do is use torrent to create ice in front of them to stop the torrent OR they simple use surge shield to stop them from being hit by the torrent... Freezing a giant, moving mass of water would be rather powerful - and the lack of cooldown contributes to the fact that using this would cause you to basically be untouchable by waterbenders..

And why should it dissapear???

Pls no.

That's too much for a waterbender to handle, without the night/fullmoon and avatarstate buff to handle. Think about the size and also plus its speed of the wave.

what if frostbreath could freeze torrent etc...

PhaseChange is quite useful in combat to be honest. Getting out of other waterbender's freezes, trapping people in ice, creating a path for yourself..

This addon to phase change would be spammed do they never got hurt by water. I'm going to deny.
