Warden's blue abilities?

Not that it's a really big issue, but why are most my skills light blue looking?

..Seriously?

I mean kind of. I was expecting green balance to be a bit more green?

I imagine it was just a personal touch by the art department. There's no true rhyme or reason to it, beyond personal opinion.

Perhaps they thought it meshed well with the ice skill line, maybe it's supposed to look more spiritual, since you actually are summoning these wings and plants out of thin air. It's almost cyan, but there's still green in there.

The color evokes a sense of purity for me. Kind of fits.

Each of the classes has a unique color. It's possible they have something else in mind that would suit a true green color better. I'm just guessing, though. Ultimately, it's because someone made a judgement call, and said, "yeah, that's a good color for this stuff."

Warden's Magicka based skills are generally blue, while Stamina based skills are generally green. I'm guessing you're Magicka Warden?

StamDen with green abilities since both Stamina and Nature are green
MagDens add a blue hue to those, due to their Magicka, making them cyan to represent both Magicka and Nature

Because:
Nigtblade - red
Templar - yellow
DK - orange
Sorc - purple
Warden - green/cyan

So actually warden has more color variation than all other classes and it's simply an art direction choice.

Their art team did an amazing job imo. The animations and color scheme fit perfectly.

That's deep

Warden has ice (blue) and plants (green). I guess they wanted it to look more uniform and since making ice more green is too weird they made the green stuff more blueish. Apart from that many magicka morphs are blue just like magicka it self and stamina morths on the other hand are often green. I think it kind of makes sense that way.

Yeah I suppose so! I actually bought the priest of the green robes expecting it to match. Perhaps that's why I'm bitter.

Well also justthrown off because monster abilities like Spriggan attacks are green. And troll king monster helm procs are green.
