GD Acronym and Abbreviation List

[DraonCC]

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.

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.

[DraonCC]

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.
