Water Torrent Change

-Water-
Currently, Torrent for water benders work like the following:

1. Left Click on water source
2. Hold shift
3. Either left click or let go of shift.​

My Idea:

1.Left Click on water source
2. Tap shift
3. Either left click or hold shift.​

Why?
This would open the move up to access to more combos. Ex: After activating a torrent, switch to Ice Spike, shooting out 3-4 ice spikes. Like Kya did during the beginning of her fight against Zahere (Air Temple Island).
Edit
Combos: (S) = Shift (SH) = Hold Shift (LC) = Left Click
Ice Torrent- Torrent-(LC) Ice Spike-(LC) Ice Spike-(LC) Ice Spike.
This shoots three ice spikes and removes the Torrent. Kya used this is her fight with Zahere
Octo-Arms- Torrent-(SH)Octopus Form- (LC) Octopus Form.
Forms an Octopus Form that on left click sends torrents out, that when hit a mob, grabs them. Allows for moving them, similar to bloodbending. (If possible to code, you must hold Left Click to hold players).
Only one player can be grabbed at a time, the arm can be broken by the basic attacks, and only lasts 5-8 seconds. This would be used to fling around enemies.

It sounds great! You'd have more mobility while using torrent! But using other moves while the torrent's activated, that could turn out very OP

It would be limited of course, you wouldn't be able to bend multiple Surges, since the torrent would fade. I feel like torrent should only stay if it matches up with a combo, but I'm open to other thoughts on it

What if you let out the concept of using other moves while torrent is activated. But since you don't have to hold shift, there could be a third option with torrent. There's left click for attack, holding shift to let go and teh third option could be: hold shift. In this way, a new possibilty for torrent doesn't need its own slot.
