Meanings of shorthand in the mesmer forums.
PU stands for “Prismatic Understanding”, a trait from our Chaos line often used in PvP builds:
“You’re a bitter man," said Candide.
“That’s because I’ve lived in the dungeon forum,” said Martin.
Just abbrievate the most common skills and traits LOL
DE (deceptive evasion), IC (Illusionist’s Celerity), IP (illusionary persona), MI (Mass Invisibility), TW (Time Warp), MoD (Mantra of Distraction), MoC (Mantra of Concentration) , etc
PU is commonly referred to because it is becoming a popular build. Mainly it was often used for condi PU builds, which are heavy hitting condi but tanky, stealthy, hard to kill. PU is a trait line so it is used elsewhere too. I decided to use it on a phantasm build couple months back. It gives max toughness trait line and has a lot of stealth + boons making it super tanky. People think it is OP (especially the condi PU builds) or whatever.

Thanks Takatsu. After poking around I guess my build is closest to the Blackwater. I love the survival ability but I’m finding I’m either roaming in a small guild group or joining up in big zergs and I’m just not getting the bag drops I think I should be so I was poking around for something that might have more offense to it and I kept seeing the PU.
I’ll have to check out some other builds now too.
