Please reply with acronym or abbreviation discussions and reply with anything I missed. I don't know all of them, but learning about them is what this thread is for!
I'll update the original post with new suggestions. If you want to look up an abbreviation you've heard, try pressing Ctrl+F (that will in most browsers open the search function) and type it out, then hit Enter. You'll be pointed to the first entry which matches your search. Mind you that some abbreviations depend on context. For example, PB usually refers to Phantasmal Blades, but can sometimes refer to Pneumatic Burst. ----- List of commonly used acronyms and abbreviations for Grim Dawn. General: These are often found in other games, especially other ARPGs ARPG - Action Role Play Game SP - Singleplayer MP - Multiplayer LMB - Left Mouse Button RMB - Right Mouse Button DMG - Damage DpS - Damage per Second DpH - Damage per Hit DoT - Damage over Time: Internal Trauma, Burn, Frostburn, Electrocute, Vitality Decay, Bleeding etc. AoE - Area of Effect: Damage/Effects covering an area, opposite of single target CC - Crowd Control: Stuns, freezes, slows, blinds, confusion etc. CD - Cooldown CDR - Cooldown reduction PtH - Probability (Chance) to Hit Crit - Critical Hit CHC - Critical Hit Chance CHD - Critical Hit Damage RNG - Random Number Generator: Anything chance-based, often associated with drop luck Proc - Programmed Random Occurrence: Chance on attack/crit/being hit Pot - Health/Mana Potion EQ - Equipment Item: Any item that can be worn BiS - Best in Slot: Best EQ for a build in its slot SnB | S&B - Sword and Board: A build that utilizes a one handed meele weapon and a shield. Mod - Modifier/Modification: Can refer to either a third-party modification of the game, a skill modifier or a % damage modifier Grim Dawn: Grim Dawn specific abbreviations not commonly found in other games (with a few exceptions) GD - Grim Dawn OA - Offensive Ability: The higher your OA vs. enemy DA, the higher your PtH and CHC DA - Defensive Ability: The higher your DA vs. enemy OA, the lower the enemy PtH and CHC RR - Resistance Reduction: Here's a spreadsheet that explains the different types of RR well: http://i.imgur.com/nkmlaHA.png (%)WD - (%) Weapon Damage: Skills can have %WD on them, which makes them deal the amount of flat damage you gain through gear, skills and devotion, to the given percentage.

Sticking this in hopes that it becomes very complete.
Atm, PtH probability to hit is the only thing I can think of to add. But I am always happy to see these types of community generated threads.

PtH? Wow, I've never heard that one before, but it's added anyway.
I've only really played Arcanist, Occultist and Nightblade, so my knowledge on mastery-specific abbreviations is rather limited. Would especially appreciate some help there. Also, I'm thinking about linking to the game guide and advanced mechanics posts instead of putting explanations after the full term.
