Only fighting?
Ozai used firebending to fly.
Azula used firebending to save herself from falling down an abyss.
Zuko used firebending to keep himself warm at the north pole.
Iroh used firebending for cooking as well as tea making.
Oh and there are PLENTY of defensive actions in the serie.
There is more if you want.

WaterbendingReasons:
With bloodbending you can control others bodies and prevent them from using their own bending abilities.
There are three different states of water you can use; all with their benefits.
Bloodbending is obviously the most efficient way of combat, but it only works at rare occasions (Full moon). So I would much rather be an earth or firebender.

Originally posted by Vampire SaviorEnclosed Spaces: Though rarely exhibited, an Airbender would be significantly disadvantaged in an enclosed space, restricting their movement and ability to dodge attacks. Though it is difficult to separate an Airbender from their element, if one was submerged under water or trapped in a vacuum, their ability to bend would likely be compromised.
Air, its every where.

Bloodbending is totally useless when not in a full moon.Has...ANY Waterbender shown the ability to control Water Vapor?
I don't think so.
Just because it wasn't shown doesn't mean it isn't resourceful. It's water so it can be pulled and bent as well as plants which harbors water.
I didn't say every waterbender can do such. The old hag on the show said she was being resourceful in her new surroundings so she discovered that ability.
There are certain abilities that only strong-willed or crazy people can pull off like:
water=bloodbending
fire=electricity
earth=metalbending
air= I don't know
But the point is they never said that it can't be done or only certain benders can do it so I'm assuming because it's water it can be done by those who know of it.

Full Moon? What, are you going to hide in a cave while waiting for each Full Moon? Without the full moon, a water bender is not much to the world.
This would be like me saying I vote for firebending because it can melt rock. It has only done this during Sozin's Comet, so saying it is most powerful because of what it has done during a rare occasion is not quite proper thinking.

I have not seen any waterbender boil water. Where did this happen?
And Zuko was not weak at the north pole. You need to consider that he swimmed trough icy water, fought Katara during full moon and walked trough massive wastes of snow. Anything other than a firebender would have been dead a long time ago.

Yeah, Zuko is badass, even with his embarassing crying in the rain scene.Waterbending's bloodbending only works during full moons, and that is also the only time it gets a boost, whereas Firebending gets a boost from the sun itself, if there is daylight Firebenders are getting a boost.
I know bloodbending is only useful during the full moon that doesn't mean waterbenders don't have the advantage at night because of the moon itself. Bloodbending is just one of the many reasons waterbenders are very resourceful benders.

All benders are resourceful. Every art of bending has a fair amount of various ways to use their bending.
