Hello im currently a new user to this site and a new owner to Dragon Age 2 and so far am loving it. After reading through all the guides I've tried to recreate some of these builds and tactics but some terms have left me confused

. Examples of this are on a guide from ' Arelex'(?) who used the term 'Glass Cannon which sadly no idea what thats about and CCC are just two examples.

Thanks for the help

Glass cannons are builds which focus solely on damage (with no regard to survivability)
CCC stands for Cross-class-Combination and is that mechanism that they added in DA2 which involves brittling, disorientating and staggering then taking advantage of that
CC stands for crowd-control
Kiting refers to where you get some aggro on enemies then run around with it following you, like a kite

What other words/abbreviations do you need help with?

OP - Original Poster. The person who created the first post in a thread. You may also see TC (Topic Creator); it means the same thing.

AFK - Away from Keyboard. Usually means what it says, but may simply refer to the ability to simply sit back and do nothing and still win.

SH - Spirit Healer. A Mage Specialization.

FM/BM - Force Mage/Blood Mage. Helps to identify what a person is trying to do with a particular character.
