It also doesn't help that some icons are identical with each other. Of course, to experienced players this's a moot point; most have a single set of buffs they get at the start of every quest and then never bother looking at the icons, but it doesn't change the fact that this part of the UI could use some improvement:
A single, scrollable list for each active de/buff on a separate page in the Character Sheet window would be really handy at times, and preferably, if each element in the list is tall enough to include the description without having to hover the mouse on it, would be a much better complement to the current mystery meat menu system.
Just press C whenever you need to look for a certain buff and never worry about leaving toolbars etc. in the top-right corner.
