I made a thread previously about leveling in WvW which was of HUGE help. I’ve been having tons of fun and leveling much faster than I expected (1-59 in three days, not displeased at all).

My server has a TeamSpeak that they use for WvW. I’ve been listening in on it as I learn, and I understand most of what is said. However, there are some things I do not understand. Unfortunately, the /Map chat in my WvW responds VERY negatively to new players asking questions.
——————————
1. “Jump on them!”- I thought this meant to push into the fight, but I see some people literally jump forward faster than I can move. Is there some mechanic they use to literally jump forward?

2. Calling for “Stab”- No idea what this means. They call out ‘Stab 1!’, ‘Stab 2!’. I assume the 1/2 is their group number in the squad, but what is stab?

3. “Hit the ac!” – This is the only target call I’m not sure of so far. Don’t know what AC stands for.

4. Calling for “Bombs”- Is this just calling for the AoEs that hit hard, or is there an actual bomb you can buy with the points and throw?
———

So far, thats all. Thanks for the help.

I can answer 2, or make a reasonable guess: Stability.

For the rest I’m as much in the dark as you.

  1. Best guess is using skills in order to jump forward in order to close the gap and slow the opponent enough for the zerg to catch & overwhelm them. Guardian and Ranger great sword have a skill that lets you leap forward.
  2. Best guess is calling stability skills in order to help keep a constant stability up.
  3. is calling for skills on an arrow cart (AC is the usual abbreviation)
  4. best guess is AoE skills like you said, only other guess is the Pact airship strike

1. Use movement skills to “leap” into a zerg or out of a bomb. Generally skills like Guard GS 3 or Warrior Sword 2.
2. Calls for group stability, mostly from Guardian’s “Stand Your Ground” (SYG). And yes stab 1 means guardian one, stab 2 means guardian 2.
3. AC generally means Arrow carts, so hitting the AC is using AC skills.
4. “Bombs” are huge AoEs that deal a ton of damage. Such as Ele – Meteor shower, Wells from Necros.

1) Using a leap or other movement skill to quickly close distance. Generally applies to the Melee train, a few parties consisting of very survivable frontrankers like warriors and at least two Guardians.

2) Calls for the first/second guardian in each party of the Melee train to activate ‘Stand Your Ground’ to give temporary resistance to CC.

3) Target the Arrowcart.

4) a bomb is a concentration of AoE, generally on the Tag’s (commander’s) location. This is done to overwhelm the enemy without them being able to recover.
