To aid those newer to the community, and unfamiliar with the terminology, I've created a terminology guide to help make sense of the abbreviations and slang used in the gameplay forums, so it's more understandable and less gobbledegook (I love that word). If I missed anything, please let me know, and I'll add it to the list.

2H - Two-Handed Warrior

BM - Blood Mage specialization

BRITTLE - Cross-class Combo effect, can be exploited by Warriors and Rogues

CC - Crowd control, an ability used to keep groups of enemies contained

CCC - Cross-class Combo, with one class setting the stage, and another finishing (e.g STAGGER->Chain Lightning). Leads to higher than normal damage and special attack effects.

CON
 - Constituition stat, determines a character's health pool

Crit - Critical hit, chance determined by the Dexterity stat, damage determined by the Cunning stat

CUN
- Cunning stat, determines damage done by a critical hit

DEX - Dexterity stat, determines chance for a critical hit to occur

DISORIENTED - Cross-class Combo effect, can be exploited by Mages and Warriors

Element/elemental
- Denotes Fire, Cold, Electricity, or Spirit elements. Often used to refer to an enemy's weaknesses or resistances, or the type of damage a weapon does

Elite
- Enemy rank (e.g Assassins, Templar Hunters)

FM
- Force Mage specialization

Fortitude
- A number determined by the character's Strength stat that denotes their resistance to being knocked down, knocked back, or set on fire, etc.

G
- Gold, or sovereign; money (e.g item X costs 10g)

Gauntlet
- Term often used to refer to the fight in the Recently Opened Passage at Sundermount, in the Nexus Golem's room

IN1 - The final boss of the Dragon Age 2 boards

Kiting - A tactic where the player draws enemies over a distance, often out of the initial combat zone

MAG - Magic stat, determines damage done by Mages, and a character's Magic Resistance

OP - Overpowered, or Original Poster (always the former when one is referring to AreleX)

SH - Spirit Healer specialization

SnS - Sword and Shield Warrior, sometimes called WnS (Weapon and Shield) or SnB (Sword and Board)

STAGGERED - Cross-class Combo effect, can be exploited by Mages and Rogues

STR - Strength stat, determines a character's physical damage and fortitude

Trash - Term used in reference to the weaker, Normal ranked or below enemies in the game

WIL
- Willpower stat, determines a characters mana or stamina pool

AreleX - The greatest player in the universe

Nah. rumination888 may be faster, but we all know no one can be as charming as AreleX.

A very valid point. Small victories, I suppose. I'll be in first TONIGHT, though!

(if I'm not, I will cry)
