Buff/debuffs have two main types of symbols. One is an arc, the other is a triangle. Buff/debuffs with the triangle have an instant effect. Buffs/debuffs with an arc have persistant effects. A triangle or arc at the top of the icon means a buff. A triangle at the bottom of the icon means a debuff. The exchange symbol is only used when the two things being affected are the same. Powers that buff/debuff multiple aspects should be using the icons found in Powers like Equip Thugs, Tactical Upgrade and Serum. Usage of which icon depends on the strength of the buff/debuff. | Buff/debuffs have two main types of symbols. One is an arc, the other is a triangle.

A few of the symbols used in power icons are combinations of two or more icon graphics. Some of the best examples of this are the power icons for Unchain Essence (defeated plus damage), Invincibility (defense plus accuracy/to hit plus buff) and Shiver (slow recharge plus slow movement). Many, many of the powers currently in the game could use compound icons to replace the current graphic. For example, Dark Extraction could use the defeated plus single pet summon icon. Stygian Circle could use the defeated plus heal buff icon. | A few of the symbols used in power icons are combinations of two or more icon graphics.

Hierarchy
Symbols have a hierarchy. If a power does damage and has a mez effect, the mez icon would be used.
If one effect of a power is much stronger than the other, the primary effect's icon is used. Frozen Armor provides defense and resistance, but the primary effect of the power is to provide defense. The defense symbol is used.
Control trumps buff/debuff trumps resist/defense trumps damage.
There are a couple of specific things that trump one another in the same general category.
Compound symbols (see below) trump standard icons.
Hold trumps disorient trumps sleep trumps immobilize.
Increase recharge speed (Hasten) trumps increase run speed (Swift).
Running trumps jumping trumps flying.
Healing trumps endurance.
Defense trumps resistance.
Damage trumps accuracy if the power's effect is equal.
Knockback/up/down sometimes trumps other control powers even when it is not the strongest effect.
Instant and Persistent / Buffs and Debuffs
Buff/debuffs have two main types of symbols. One is an arc, the other is a triangle. Buff/debuffs with the triangle have an instant effect. Buffs/debuffs with an arc have persistant effects. A triangle or arc at the top of the icon means a buff. A triangle at the bottom of the icon means a debuff. The exchange symbol is only used when the two things being affected are the same. Powers that buff/debuff multiple aspects should be using the icons found in Powers like Equip Thugs, Tactical Upgrade and Serum. Usage of which icon depends on the strength of the buff/debuff.
Compound Symbols
A few of the symbols used in power icons are combinations of two or more icon graphics. Some of the best examples of this are the power icons for Unchain Essence (defeated plus damage), Invincibility (defense plus accuracy/to hit plus buff) and Shiver (slow recharge plus slow movement). Many, many of the powers currently in the game could use compound icons to replace the current graphic. For example, Dark Extraction could use the defeated plus single pet summon icon. Stygian Circle could use the defeated plus heal buff icon.
Some of the images in the table below are not found in the game, but are provided for reference purposes.

Defense vs. Resistance
I saw that the page was edited to remove reference to defense buffs in symbols used in defensive shield-type powers. The fact is, the symbols for typed defense buffs and damage resistance buffs are used interchangeably in sets such as Ice Armor and Invulnerability. It's the same story with the defense debuff symbol; it's also used to indicate damage resistance debuffs, such as in Sonic Siphon. Since this is the way the icons appear in an unmodified (i.e., does not have the icon pack installed) game, I added back the statements about those powers buffing either defense or resistance. If you believe further edits on this topic are necessary, we should discuss it here first. --Vanden
Where are the transparent symbols from?
Let me know if this isn't appropriate for this page, but does anyone know where I could get the rest of the generic icons without the gray circles or black backgrounds, like some of the examples in here? I'm trying to save a few steps for myself as I edit some of the icons for a personal mod.
