==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.

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.

== Icon Duplication ==
 +
I'm noticing that we're getting some duplicate icons related to this article that are duplicates of existing icons.  For example, [[File:Inherent_Sprint.png]] and [[File:Sprint, PrestigeSprint.png]].  The only difference I see is that the second one has a black background.  Any reason the cell the icon is displayed in couldn't just be displayed with a black background?

Icons Explained.
+
{|class="wikitable"
−
 
+
|-
−
Control/Mez icons: Almost all of these you'll be familiar with as they are the same graphic used on a training enhancement. A few exceptions and some unique icons (Force Bubble, Telekinesis, Wormhole) are out there.
+

−
Buff and Debuff icons: Buff/debuffs have 2 types of symbols. One is an arc, the other is a triangle. Buff/debuffs with the triangle have an instant effect. For example, Healing Aura gives you hit points. Buffs/debuffs with an arc have persistant effects. For example, Recovery Aura increases your recovery rate for a period of time. A triangle or arc at the top of the icon means a buff. A triangle at the bottom of the icon means a debuff.
+
|[[Inherent Powers#Sprint|Sprint]]
−
The exchange symbol is somewhat ambiguous. The way I conceive it, the exchange symbol is only used when the two things being affected are the same. For example, in Absorb Pain caster loses hit points, target gains hit points. Usage is correct. Dark Consumption target loses hit points, caster gains endurance. Usage incorrect.
+
|This is the Sprint symbol; the only powers that use the symbol are Sprint and its Prestige variations.
−
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.
+
|}
−
 
+
−
Resistance icons: The basic resist symbol is the icon used on the training enhancement. There are no resistance buffs used in the iconography. All resistance is assumed to have a buffing effect. Resistance debuff could certainly be a valid symbol, using the downward arc described above. Resistance icons have variations depending on what type of resistance they provide. Temp Invulnerability uses smashing/lethal, Resist Elements uses fire/cold, Resist Energy uses energy/negative energy and Minerals uses a psionic resistance symbol. The symbol for increased resistance to mez effects is used in powers like Unyeilding and Rooted.
+
−
 
+
−
Defense icons: The basic defense symbol is a shield. Flavors currently exsist for melee, ranged and AoE defense. Missing are icons for the different types of damage (smash/lethal/fire/cold/toxic/energy/negative energy/psionic). If we used the same symbology as resistance, we could have the flavor of defense on top of the shield symbol and it would be more clear how each defense power functions.
+
−
A boost to your current mez defense is the symbol used by Clarity.
+
−
 
+
−
Melee icons: Any power that does damage could use the icon found on the training enhancement. I consider it the default damage icon. Melee icons have three tiers depending on how much damage they do. Look at Brawl, Punch and Haymaker for examples of tiers 1, 2 and 3. Barrage uses the icon for melee damage over time. The extreme damage symbol used on Nova can also be added into this category. A few more icons exsist such as assassin's strike, elemental weapon, greater elemental weapon and chain-type powers that are used only in certain specific powers.
+
  
−
Ranged icons: Once again, any power that does damage could use the icon found on the training enhancement. The extreme damage symbol used on Nova is part of this category. There are four tiers of standard ranged damage. Only powers with a recharge time of "Very Fast" should use the tier 0 ranged icon as in the power Nuetrino Bolt. Small, medium and large powers use the other ranged icons that appear as skinny, normal and thick beams and I call them Tier 1, 2 and 3.
+

−
Sniper powers have a unique icon. Short range powers have a unique icon like the one found on the Power Burst icon.
+
  
−
Pet icons: Any power that is a pet or henchman, or effects only a pet or henchman should have a ring at the bottom. If a pet has a specific power effect (taunt or fear) that icon should replace the rising sphere on most of the pet icons. The number of pets summoned should be the number of rising spheres found on the power icon.
+
:I just tried doing that, but I'm a little leery about it.  It doesn't really look that good because the word "Symbol" at the top of the tables stretches out the column and leaves the picture uncentered. Since I'm new to editing wikis, I don't know how to do things like center things in tables until I find a spot where someone's already done just that so I can copy them. I uploaded that duplicate Sprint icon because the icons that Storyteller had uploaded all have the little black corners and I wanted to be consistent, but if someone knows how to center the icons in the columns, go right ahead. --[[User:Vanden|Vanden]]
−
The pet power icons should be used only when the power summons something that can be killed. Voltaic Sentinal is not a pet, Gun Drone is.
+
  
−
Form icons: Icons should be used when you actually shift forms. Kheldian Nova and Dwarf powers use this icon. IMO, Granite should use this as well.
+
::All icons are now centered and the background of the cells that contain the images are set to black. --[[User:Eabrace|Eabrace]] [[File:Healthbar notify phone.png|20px|link=User talk:Eabrace]] 22:59, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

New Icons Needed
+
== Defense vs. Resistance ==
−
In thinking about this, I found the game really, really needs some additional icons not currently used but are consistent with existing iconography. Flavored defense and resistance debuffs are desperately needed, imo.
+
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 Resonance#Sonic Siphon|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. --[[User:Vanden|Vanden]]

Latest revision as of 04:37, 23 January 2010

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.
