Looking Into Probending Moves

[NinjaK]

So something I want to mention ahead of time, I don't expect this to be something that happens fast in the core, considering they haven't gotten much into the Probending plugin stuff yet. This suggestion is more of a custom ability thing. Anyways, lets get into things.

I just need 3 abilities, one for each element used in Probending. These are extremely simple and deal only knockback. All the information is shown below;

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​

ProFire

​

Element: Fire

Description: Punch in any direction to fire a small amount of fire in that direction. This move deals no damage, does not ignite any entity hit, and can be redirected. It is used purely for knockback in Probending.
Hold shift with this ability to block with it. When another Probending move hits you while you're blocking with ProFire, it negates some knockback and the shield is removed.

Cooldown: 100 milliseconds.
Damage: 0
Range: 100

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​

ProWater

​

Element: Water

Description: Punch in any direction to fire a small amount of water in that direction. This move deals no damage, and can be redirected. It is used purely for knockback in Probending. If possible, I would like this move to be able to be used without selecting a water source. Preferably, I'd like if it would pull nearby water up through iron bars. It should not remove the source water block.
Hold shift with this ability to block with it. When another Probending move hits you while you're blocking with ProWater, it negates some knockback and the shield is removed.

Cooldown: 100 milliseconds.
Damage: 0
Range: 100

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​

ProEarth

​

Element: Earth

Description: Punch in any direction to fire a small amount of earth in that direction. This move deals no damage, and can be redirected. It is used purely for knockback in Probending. If possible, I would like this move to be able to be used without selecting an earth source, where it instead uses a nearby earth source. Also, the source block used must respawn immediately.
Hold shift with this ability to block with it. When another Probending move hits you while you're blocking with ProEarth, it negates some knockback and the shield is removed.

Cooldown: 100 milliseconds.
Damage: 0
Range: 100

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​

ProAir​

Element: Air

Description: Punch in any direction to fire a small amount of air in that direction. This move deals no damage and can be redirected. It is used purely for knockback in Probending.
Hold shift with this ability to block with it. When another Probending move hits you while you're blocking with ProAir, it negates some knockback and the shield is removed.

Cooldown: 100 milliseconds.
Damage: 0
Range: 100

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knockback​

ProFire:
(Attacking) High knockback
(Blocking) Negates low knockback.

ProWater:
(Attacking) Average knockback
(Blocking) Negates average knockback.

ProEarth:
(Attacking) Low knockback
(Blocking) Negates the most knockback.

ProAir:
(Attacking) Most knockback
(Blocking) Negates the least knockback.

Another note, when any of these abilities hit eachother both abilities should cancel.
Anyways, that's about it. Anyone who can make this for me, thanks ahead of time!

Placing Looking Into because I do believe Probending needs some sort of set of moves along the lines of these.

 

[DeviantAang]

I like this idea

Profire should deal minimuim knockback negation, to leave to concept having a lack of defense power.

What about air? I know it's not canon, but still...

What about air? I know it's not canon, but still...

1. Airbending by default will be disabled in probending arena, so less likely to have any. (FAQ)
2. Air IS the most knockbacking dealing move.
3. I believe addon developers will create and upload airbending moves for probending (plugin/arenas).

Thank you.

I feel like you should sneak to brace for hits, to reduce knock back

Well that's pretty much what the shield function does.

._. Tho that move would be disabled by default, because of the reason I said.

Sure, it wouldn't be default, but I thought I might as well put the info there for those who want it.

 

[Preston M]

Wait why is air not default?

 

[RobagNetwork]

Yeah you can't just leave out air ;-;

 

[NinjaK]

Wait why is air not default?

Only because it isn't usually there in the sport, but there's no reason not to include it.

Forget what I said. Profire should deal more knockback then prowater&proearth, but block minium knockback then prowaterearth. Proair should deal less knockback, but block larger knockback

Air is thin, so the shield should not block much. While its thin, it can be pressurized into a blast to deal a lot of knockback. Thats why I have it set the way I do.
