[Thasaint]

nice job on the reference for new players

[Ladylove]

You put "Arterra" as the world of PL... "Arterra" is a person. "Alterra" is the world.

[Residentevil]

A lot of these arent correct.... Nuke for instance is just a big heavy damage combo. Doesnt need range. Twink is also wrong, is a lower then level cap pvp character. Your definition of pallies, warbirds, bowbears, etc are close but too specific to whats best atm not whats true.

It's a simple list so new players can get an idea of what they mean, they're not completely 100% precise.
I put it in the "New Players" section for a reason.

[Haikus]

OL= Overlord

VL= Victory Lap

GF= Girlfriend

BF= Boyfriend

HIS= Haikus is Sexy.

I think the 3 last terms are best. I see the naked enchantresses in Forest Haven Towne say them alot.

There I guess I fixed it, if you guys have any suggestion or think that this lists needs some tweaks just leave it here and I'll fix it tomorrow, thanks.

[Physiologic]

Nice thread, should be stickied. You should organize it somewhat, either alphabetical or categorized (for example, forum abbreviations versus shoppe abbreviations versus abbreviations used in battles).

Will do... tomorrow haha I'm heading off to bed.
Thanks :).

Edit: I got bored and decided to do it today, there :).
Guys, feel free to add any, just post here... I'll edit it.

[mcyto]

If only I had this when I first started...

[Duke]

Bowbear definition is wrong -- it's strictly a DEX-based bear build (like a Dexchantress). It may have some STR, but bowbears in and of themselves aren't dual specs.

You should add "duel spec" as a term though: a character who has high enough score in two different abilities (Str, Dex, Int) to be able to equip top-end gear for two of those three abilities.

Also, "hybrid" is the overarching term for a build that takes a particular class as a chassis and focuses on its alternate attributes, which includes the Paladin, Dexchantress, Bowbear, Intbear (?), Warbird, and Clever Bird.

Another term to define would be "aggro": gaining an enemy's "hate" so they start attacking you as opposed to a teammate.

[romgar1]

This one is just for brooke. ;)
HIRNTSBBTHICSETMC=haukus is really not that sexy but brooke thinks he is cause she eats to much chicken.

Added them and fixed bowbear... also I could've sworn I had Dual Spec in there, I'm 100% sure I added it... I probably accidentally deleted it when I edited it :\.

[Phoenixking]

You forgot trash white and orange
And you forgot BS(bsibcflfipla) means balefort sewers parenthesis are optional

[Sanatorium]

As for trash, white, and those I'll add them later.

[Sanatorium]

Thanks for your awesome list. I've seen "atm" and "kiting" used in other posts but have no clue what they mean. *grin*

[Redbridge]

+1 for kiting. Wish I had know this list was around. Very very useful. Added to my useful guides in my signature.

ATM - at the moment?

[Redbridge]

AOE? I know it means area damage but what exactly does it stand for?

[EpuYue]

AOE actually stands for Area Of Effect.

[Sanatorium]

Added some other terms.

What is boosting? Also RL and IGN, and Proc. :) Ummm...that's all I can think of having to look up before.

Also, I stared at AFAIK for about 20 minutes until I figured it out. And the difference between trolling, flaming and lurking might be detailed somewhere (but probably not here...I had to look at that up, too). I'm not a huge forum person.

[WhoIsThis]

Awesome list. This needs to be stickied.

IGN = In-Game Nick
Proc = Programmed Random OCcurence
AFAIK = As Far As I Know
Flaming = bashing or insulting others (on the internet)

And to add some of my own..
AFK = Away From Keyboard (I think we shld change to AFP = Away From Phone in this case..)
BRB = Be Right Back
BTW = By The Way
LOL = Laugh Out Loud (I think most ppl shld know this..)
ROFL = Roll On Floor Laughing
LMAO = Laughing My *** Off
ROFLMAO = combination of above 2 :x

Thanks, I added some obvious ones that I didn't feel like adding because I think most people would know that.
I added flaming, but not lurking since I'm only adding the terms used in Pocket Legends and not the forums.
Other than that... the list has been updated.

WTF = Why the face? (My all-time favourite ever since Phil uttered it in Modern Family) http://www.tvfanatic.com/quotes/why-the-face/

[drewcapu]

Some you are missing:
boss, farm, powerlevel/plvl
There's a bunch of sewer acronyms you could list like, gf (gold finger), but maybe new players don't really need them?

other campaigns: FH (forest haven), DF (dark forest), FN (Frozen Nightmare), etc

Res/Rev/Rez should be defined as Resurrect (Revive)

[Tsarra]

I have no idea what this is.

Do not forget: WIISA

[Sanatorium]

Updated the list guys, thanks for the feedback :).

[Ellyidol]

Just found this. No need for credits, just based from what I've seen anyway :)

Regarding builds, I usually like to think of them as gear based builds, and not stats. Ie

Warbirds = birds using strength armours
Dex/bow bears = bears using dex armours
Pally = mage using str armours

That way you leave the stats to them, dual spec or not :)
