Potential Change to Lightning (Fire)

Ok guys this is a change we are considering if Bukkit allows us to do so once we get 1.8. We are considering changing lightning bending to the Guardian mob beam instead of the lightning from the sky. I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on this!Beam.png
 
Ive been thinking of this for a while! It would be a much better solution to lightning
 
Yes, finally something nicer than the lightning from pre-1.8
And for those who don't know, sky lightning is the only way to make any type of lightning. It can't be made any more dynamic.
 
I like it, but it would be cool if you could keep the lightning sound effect to accompany the attack. I feel like it would be really underwhelming without it (since lightning is supposed to feel powerful). Another thing to convey it's power could be an explosion on contact with any blocks (lightning usually did this in the show).
 
It looks really nice, but it's a bit... cheesy. I would love to have a blue bolt rather than yellow. I also think it would be a lot more accurate to be able to aim the lightning by clicking in a direction rather that just shifting. AKA like a fireblast^^^^^

I agree, but it shouldn't be like fireblast, but more like fireburst when you shift then click inthe direction you want the bast to go.
 
but guys, dont forget that all the ppl who uses the lightning in the serie needs sometime to charge up the lightning before the blast it away, i think its crucial for the opponent that the know you are charging it since its does alot damage so the could shield them self/hide :s
 
I think the using this particle would be great, however it isn't the original light blue/white color as seen in TLA, but I still think a sideways projectile for lightning would be far superior to it just coming from the sky. Also to add to Elzoz's point, in the show lightning is seen in the users hands right before the release it so the guardian mob particle could be seen briefly in the users hand before they release it.

We definitely need to make it more obvious that it's happening, so as to make redirection better.
 
Maybe when someone shoots it at you, a firebender could hold shift before it hits them and shoot it back with a click while still holding shift? Just a thought that I think would be pretty cool
 
But yeah, if you really wanna nail lightning, change the color to blue, as that's how it was in the show. A redirection animation would also be nice.
