Water benders did receive the ability to support allies. They can now create a shield of ice that is equivalent to a metal shield simply by having access to water. And then proceed to create a shield for each of their allies, including being able to replace their "metal shield" on the fly without any crafting requirements. In a long fight, the ability to have infinite shields can really make a difference. And I don't know if you've tried pumping a little oxygen, you'll know that you can out swim any wild dino in the game with water speed activated, that's some pretty good mobility, especially when the ARK devs nerfed swimming speed per point into oxygen. Water benders shouldn't have a lot of movement abilities on land, as their movement abilities require vast amounts of water, more than any human could carry.

Please keep in mind that this mod is still labeled as a "beta" ;) There are tons and tons of abilities planned but I can't get them all out at once.

Also regarding airbenders, feel free to remove tech items (guns, etc...) from the server if you'd like a more balanced experience. This is being designed with the show in mind, and airbenders were notoriously hard to hit in the show.

Airbenders are the inferior benders to all the other benders, not waterbenders, well.. at least without guns. Airbenders need another offensive attack, especially when Firebenders wear Tek armor, then an airbender wouldn't stand a chance because he lacks the damage. Or maybe the Tek functions need to be disabled for benders.

Airbenders are getting a suffocation ability soon. That will definitely help if they can connect the ability. And firebenders should be the most powerful, as far as offensive capabilities they are the strongest.
