thanks for the link.

Anyone has any specific Gw2 abbreviations to add?

I think most of those cover it.

The only one’s I can think of that are specific I believe most can understand.

Center Island – Quaggs
Sentry Island – South island in borderlands between Briar and Lake
Briar – SW tower
Lake – SE tower
Vale – SW Supply
Water – SE Supply
Lodge – S supply, but I usually just use South Supply.
Bay – W keep in BL’s
Hills – E keep in BL’s
Garri – Garrison or middle keep in BL’s

Main ones I see while attacking or defending:
AoE – area of effect
DoT – Damage over time condition build basically.
Condition – Use bleeds, vulnerability – specifically when on veteran supply mobs.
Stack – to stack on whoever says probably for a portal
Portal (port) – either use the portal, or AoE the portal
CC – crowd control; stuns, fear, knockbacks, roots, etc.

I can’t think of others at the moment (atm).

thank you..

DD: Double dagger
Cc: …?

CC = crowd control

also, in WvW borderlands ‘water gate’ is reffered commonly to the southern Garrison gate accessible by the tunnel in the lake.

Yeah I just added that one as I thought of it as I switched pages.

BBC
Borderlands Back in Control

Maybe, but don’t ever look that one up on the internets.

BBW

Building Bay Waypoint

Ooooh now that one is a staple in the GW2 society as a whole. Everyone loves a good BBW, waypoints are great!

I can’t count the number of times I see “What does OMW mean?” in WvW. No joke. So just in case you don’t know this one, it’s short for “On my way.”

DD: Double dagger

DD = Damage Dealer

I usually see dual wielding daggers shortened to D/D (for dagger/dagger), not DD.

Eh, it’s short hand. I haven’t seen anyone in this game use DD for damage dealer. I have seen someone say, “DD – ele”.
