Delete this Thread Water Bending is Working Just fine and already allows Water bending via HAving a canteen within inventory/ or hot key.

I don't see the issue with not being able to use a giant torrent of water to fly around land, being fueled by a small glass of water. That seems quite balanced to me. And unless you're playing on Scorched Earth, water covers a huge percentage of the official maps. Using your logic, fire benders should be able to fly underwater and earth benders should be able to pull a pillar of earth out of thin air. If you feel that water bending is under powered on your server, GyozaGuy has a Discussion Board for configuring the mod. Just tweak the rates for the different abilities until you find a better balance for your server.

There is nothing wrong with waterbending, it is intended to be accurate to the show, which it is. We never see waterbenders moving across land with water, they need water sources. This is not intended to be a balanced magic mod as some assume, it's intended to recreate powers as seen in a TV show.

The oxygen/cold resistance issues are an ARK bug that I can't currently fix. I've reported the bug, but have no idea if it will ever be fixed.

Of course I try to balance where I can ;) But I won't be adding anything that is drastically different than the show.

@GyozaGuy what about being able to use the movement abilities in the snow? Kataras master could use waterspout in the snow.

I've tried, unfortunately there is no way to detect snow in the map reliably.

Oh ya, sorry I think I remember reading that in one of your posts now.

However, we also saw(a couple times, as I recall) Katara and Aang using Waterbending to cut through reinforced steel pretty quickly, a pressurized jet of water should be pretty damaging.

Yes, this is true, and lots more abilities are planned, but this isn't directly related to the original question about using movement abilities on land.

In the original post, KILLEROFSPOONS mentioned "They can only use offensive abillities on land." This is simply not true, all waterbending abilities can be used in water as well.
