I've decided. I ship Katara and that random Earthbender guy from that one episode in season one.
Wat.
Is that a crackship? I'd have thought something like Ozai/Ocean Spirit was a weird ship in the Avatarverse. :o

Or, I can not PVP which makes me feel like bashing my skull in with a rock, go do a group of quests that take half an hour at the most, grumble about how much I hate Aggra and get a 365 =P.
There's ways to make BGs fun like you cannot believe.
I'm sure there are, and those who enjoy PVP are welcome to them....but when it comes to PVP or a red poker enema, I'll take the enema.

I just got my Wings of Anadarakia from 78 tasks in the Garatalatin Wastes. I had to reap the mammoth cubs enough times to make my sword dull.

Why is Zuko like a decent person half the time and then goes and does things which make you hate him? Fuuuuuuuuu and you could have got a ship with the Earth Kingdom villager. SHE DESERVES BETTER.

I can relate to this :P

Also, is there a particular reason why all of Azula's fire is blue? Or is all of her bending using lightning instead of fire? :/

as a matter of fact there is a reason.
Blue fire is the result of fire that burns with a higher than normal heat. Its meant to show that azula's fire is far stronger, and far more dangerous than your average fire. As the flames subside, they turn to their standard yellow color.
it also serves to enhance her name :P Azula comes from the latin (and spanish) word "Azul" wich means blue.
And no, not all her bending uses lightning. Lightning bending is a double-edge weapon. For one you can't really do it in motion, it requires time to build up the chi necessary to create it, then separate them, and recombine them into a single bolt. In other words, real powerful but slow as hell. Not at all like bending the water/earth/fire/air which is fluid body movement mixed with martial arts, and can be done in rapid succession.
Plus lightning has a secondary drawback:
If you use Iroh's special technique, you can deflect it back to wherever you want, even if you are not a firebender

Right, so basically it shows that Azula is the most threatening firebender so far, even more powerful than Iroh or Zuko, correct? (On Book 2)
Post by
Adamsm
No, because Iroh can do anything she can do, but better heh.
Edit: But she is the most threatening character because well...you've seen her.

But his flames are weaker, apparently. :o

That's because unlike azula, he's not a showoff.
Creating blue flame requires more chi, and more effort than your average flame, and its basically overkill, since regular fire burns hot enough to eliminate any foe Blue Fire is just Azula's way to brag about how much of a prodigy she is.
Its like using a blowtorch to fry some eggs.

Ah, I get you. It's just Azula's pride that makes her use all of her energy on all of her attacks. Most firebenders would be capable of making blue flames if they needed to, but Azula just does it because #YOLO, or something.

not quite.
Actually very few people have the talent to make blue flame, mostly because its so hot its just as dangerous to you as it is to your enemy. Its Azula's own pride that has her saying "screw you" to blue flame and tames it just because she can.
At least that's what Bryan (one of the 2 co-creators of the show) said in an interview.
They also said this is the reason she never has prolonged fights in the show, using all that blue flame is very taxing, and her tactic when attacking is "go all out and squash the enemy in a single hit"
Fun note: On the first show, Lightning-bending is an ability so rare, only 3 people in the entire show can do it (Iroh, Ozai, and Azula). And they are specifically recognized as either prodigies who are the exception to the norm (Azula) or extremely experienced masters with decades of practice (Iroh and Ozai)
Cue the second show: Legend of Korra, and now suddenly, EVERYONE can use lightning (well, at least firebenders). Its so common, its used to generate electricity at the powerplants :P

Milayu, you could name your character "habilitation". Works better as a fragment IMO.
The game is just harder, and potentially a lot less fun.
On average. With a hasty generalisation, we can come to the opposite conclusion.

I'm still undecided on Azula. I think she's badass, but every now and then she comes off as
too
much. But yeah, I think she's pretty badass. Much more so than Zuko, anyway.

Oh Mila, that's not funny.
Okay it was, but you shouldn't poke him like that.
