After seeing how rarely Warden skill lines are used by damage dealers in PvE again, I wanted to include Green Balance in this feedback as well. I think it would be cool if that skill line would get some plant-themed damaging abilities in a future update.

Since many of its morphs have similar effects at the moment, perhaps a few could be condensed - making room for a couple of DPS-focused morphs?

Pros

• It would be a small buff for pure Warden DDs, since they have one useless skill line at the moment.
• It would open up more build options, which would be great in my book.
• ESO doesn't really have plant-themed offensive abilities yet, which is a pity for those that want to use the subclassing system to create some sort of Druid DD.

Some ideas for abilities and passives
The ideas below are meant to better illustrate my point; I don’t actually expect the developers to implement them, of course.

Soothing Spores -> Venomous Spores

• Seed a large area of mushrooms in front of you, dealing 2342 Poison Damage. Deals 15% more damage to enemies that are within 6 meters of you.
• The cost of this morph and Enchanted Growth could be determined by the highest max resource so that those rare Stamina healers still have a Green Balance healing ability.

Corrupting Pollen

• Summon a field of flowers at the target location, dealing 4150 Poison Damage over 10 seconds to enemies inside. Enemies are afflicted with Major Defile and Minor Cowardice for 4.1 seconds each tick, reducing their healing received and damage shield strength by 12% and their Weapon and Spell Damage by 215. An ally within the field can activate the Harvest synergy, healing for 3372 Health over 5 seconds.

Leeching vines

• Grow vines to entwine your foe for 20 seconds, dealing 4785 Poison Damage over 20 seconds and immobilizing them for 3 seconds. You heal for 100% of the damage done with this ability.

Lotus Blossom

• Embrace the lotus blessing, causing your Light Attacks to deal an additional 315 Poison Damage and your fully-charged Heavy Attacks to deal an additional 945 Poison Damage for 20 seconds. While slotted on either bar, you gain Major Prophecy and Savagery, increasing your Spell and Weapon Critical rating by 2629.

Bursting Vines

• Launch a vine to swing yourself to your foe, instantly dealing 1603 Poison Damage to them and enemies within 6 meters. Enemies hit take an additional 2050 Poison Damage over 5 seconds. An ally near the vines can activate the Burst synergy, dealing 2812 Poison Damage to all effected enemies.

Ultimate: Healing Thicket -> Poisonous Thicket

• Swell a forest at the target location, instantly dealing 3838 Poison Damage and applying the Poisoned status effect to enemies within 6 meters. The forest continues to deal 928 Poison Damage in the area every 1 second for 6 seconds and snares enemies by 50% for 3 seconds each tick.

Passives:

• Accelerated Growth: Increases the chance to apply the Poisoned status effect by 75%. When you heal yourself or an ally under 40% Health with a Green Balance ability you gain Major Mending, increasing your healing done by 16% for 4 seconds.
• Nature's Gift: When you heal an ally or deal damage with a Green Balance ability, you gain 200 Magicka or 200 Stamina, whichever resource pool is lower. This effect can occur once every 1 second.
• Emerald Moss: Increases your healing done with Green Balance abilities by 5% and damage done against enemies inflicted with a Poison effect by 3% for each Green Balance ability slotted.

LOVE this!

Only thematic element is an additional Bleed ability since the thorns -> Bleed angle is too logical to not do.
