Updated Terminology Guide
Back To: Board List | Topic List | Topic Closed
This is mostly for people who are new, whether it be to Battle.net or the game itself. I left out terms that should be obvious, ie necro=necromancer, Eschuta's=Eschuta's Temper, etc. If you have questions on monsters or items, check out Arreat Summit (http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/). If you're looking for a specific term, just hold Ctrl, type "f", and enter the word in the box. The sections are: Item Mods Specific Items General Items Trading Terms Skills Monsters Glitches/Bugs Other Item Mods Eth: Ethereal ED: Enhanced damage (can also be enhanced defense, depends on context) IAS: Increased Attack Speed FCR: Faster Cast Rate FHR: Faster Hit Recovery AR: Attack rating DR: Damage reduced by x% CBF: Cannot be frozen PMH: Prevent monster heal r/w: Faster run/walk MF: Extra chance to find magic items gf: Percent extra gold from monsters Slow: Slows target by x% Prismatic: Adds to all resistances LL: Life stolen per hit ML: Mana stolen per hit LR: Lightning resistance CR: Cold resistance FR: Fire resistance PR: Poison resistance Ilvl: Item level. The level of the monster who dropped it. OW: Open wounds DS: Deadly Strike CB: Crushing blow ITD: Ignore Target's Defense LR: Life replenish ctc: Chance to cast, such as "10% chance to cast level 3 frost nova when struck" sorb: Elemental absorb (such as "+20 Lightning Absorb") Xos: Number of open (unused) sockets, with x being the number (ie 4os archon plate). Sup: Superior. Superior armors have max base defense, and superior items can add enhanced damage, attack rating (for weapons), enhanced defense (for armors), and/or enhanced durability (all items). Specific Items (Uniques) Occy: The Oculus Fathom: Death's Fathom GF: Grandfather LS: Lightsabre Dcleaver: Deathcleaver WF: Windforce SS: Stormshield Lidless: Lidless Wall Vipermagi: Skin of the Vipermagi Shaft: Shaftstop GA: Guardian Angel Gaze: Vampire Gaze Shako: Harlequin Crest, the unique shako Nightwing's: Nightwing's Veil Griffon's: Griffon's Eye CoA: Crown of Ages Chancies: Chanceguards Gores: Gorerider Marrow: Marrowwalks String: String of Ears T:god's: Thundergod's Vigor Arach: Arachnid Mesh Dungo's: Verdungo's Hearty Coil SoE: String of Ears HoZ: Herald of Zakarum SoJ: Stone of Jordan bk: Bul:Kathos' Wedding Band Anni: Annihilus Gheed's: Gheed's Fortune (Continued) | |
(Sets) IK: Immortal King Tal's: Tal Rasha's Mav's: M'avina's Griz: Griswold's Sig's: Sigon's Trang's: Trang:Oul's (Runewords) BOTD: Breath of the Dying HoJ: Hand of Justice CTA: Call to Arms CoH: Chains of Honor HOTO: Heart of the Oak Fort: Fortitude (Miscellaneous) 3/20/20: Small charm, 3 to maximum damage, 20 to life, 20 to attack rating 40/15: Jewel, 40% enhanced damage, 15% increased attack speed 120/45: Item (usually a helmet) with three 40/15s 160/60: Item (usually an armor) with four 40/15s JMoD: Jeweler's Monarch of Deflecting (Four sockets, adds to chance to block and faster block rate) CCBoE: Cruel Colossus Blade of Evisceration CCBoQ: Cruel Colossus Blade of Quickness ECCBoE/ECCBoQ: Same as above, but ethereal Note: These swords were popular in 1.09. A horadric cube recipe allowed you to take three gems and a magic sword, and get three sockets on the sword as well as new stats. Iths: Old hacked weapons Hexes: Old hacked small charms Cracked Sash: And old joke names this as the godliest item in the game, especially if it has an El rune in it or is ethereal with a Zod rune in it. Has 1 defense, 3 durability. General Items Skiller: A grand charm with +1 to a skill tree gc: Grand Charm lc: Large Charm sc: Small Charm HR: High rune High rune: Vex+ Mid rune: Hel:lem Low rune: El:Dol NOTE: Pul:Gul don't really have a term. They're just called by their names. When trading for hrs, people will just give you a number of high runes, instead of listing out like 3 Vex, 2 Ohm, etcetera. They're pretty much exchangeable, ie, you can usually get any high rune with any other. pgem: Perfect gem Baal grand charm: Grand charm dropped by Baal on Hell mode (has an item level of 99) bp: Breast plate cb: Colossus blade cs: Colossus sword cv: Colossus Voulge pb: Phase blade Zerker: Berserker axe Z: Sometimes used to mean "berserker axe" For example, an ebotdz is an ethereal breath of the dying berserker axe. Trading Terms P: A "p" before an item name means it's perfect, as in all of the stats (such as enhanced damage) are as high as they can go. The exception is "pcombat charm," which refers to a grand charm with +1 to paladin skill levels ISO: In search of FT: For trade O: Offering N: Need (Used on Europe in the same way as ISO/FT) wug: What you got? wuw: What you want? pc: price check (Continued) | |
Skills (Skills) Amazon GA: Guided Arrow MS: Multishot LF: Lightning Fury CS: Charged Strike Assassin LS: Lightning Sentry MB: Mind Blast BoS: Burst of Speed WB: Weapon Block WoF: Wake of Fire Necromancer BS: Bone Spirit/Bone Spear CE: Corpse Explosion Amp: Amplifly Damage LR: Lower Resists IM: Iron Maiden Barbarian WW: Whirlwind BO: Battle Orders Sorceress CL: Chain Lightning CB: Charged Bolt FO: Frozen Orb FB: Fireball Paladin FoH: Fist of the Heavens HF: Holy Freeze Druid HoW: Heart of Wolverine Oak: Oak Sage Sage: Oak Sage WW: Werewolf WB: Werebear FC: Fireclaws Monsters Super Unique: An enchanted monster who is always in the same area. Corpsefire from the Den of Evil and Rakanishu in the Stony Field are good examples. Dclone/Uber Diablo: A monster that sometimes spawns after a message pops up saying a number of Stones of Jordan Sold to Merchants. A message will pop up saying "Diablo walks the Earth" and the screen will shake. He will be spawned at the first super unique you run into. Reziarfg: An April Fool's joke. G Fraizer (ie, Reziarfg backwards) posted information on this "rare monster" on his website. This monster doesn't exist. Pindle: Pindleskin, a monster found down Anya's portal in Harrogath who can drop nearly any item in Hell mode. Countess: Found in level five of the Tower in the black marsh, act 1. She almost always drops runes, and in Hell mode can drop up to Lo, making her a popular victim of people looking for items. Eldritch: Just north of the waypoint in the Frigid Highlands. Easy to kill, popular on mf runs. MSLE: A monster with multi-shot and lightning enchanted. Shoots out nine charged bolts when hit. Can be very deadly. MSLEB: Same as above, stands for "Multi-shot lightning enchanted beast" Glitches/bugs Grush: Glitch rush. Normally, to finish the Baal quest, you must comple the Ancients quest first, which requires your character to be level 20, 40, or 60, in normal, nightmare and hell, respectively. But, if you're in the party of someone who can complete the Baal quest, and you're standing in Harrogath when Baal is killed, you will get credit for the quest. Marrowwalk Glitch: Marrowwalks have charges of level 33 bone prison. If a necromancer has no points in bone prison, these boots will give him a level 33 bone prison synergy to all skills it synergizes, granting the bone skills a huge boost in damage at the cost of zero skill points. This works with all items with charges, such as Carrion Wind, which will give a druid's rabies a level 21 poison creeper synergy. NOTE: It's still in debate whether this is a glitch or intended. The point is that it works. GA/pierce bug: A bug in 1.09 that allowed guided arrow to hit an enemy multiple times if it pierced. The Buriza-Do Kyanon, a popular bow in 1.09, had 100% pierce and high damage, allowing amazons to easily kill anything. IBS: Invisible bone spirit. A glitch that makes bone spirits invisible (very annoying in duels). Also works with guided arrow (Continued) | |
Other Barter Board: A board on Gamefaqs used for trading topics. http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=2000023 Upgrade: Upgrading the base item of a rare or unique. A ghost armor will become a dusk shroud, for example. This raises the damage (on weapons), base defense (on armors; base defense depends on the armor type, and +defense/enhanced defense will raise it further), and requirements (strength, dexterity, and level). Dimishing Returns: When a skill doesn't go up as much per point as it had been. If an attack skill raises 15% ED for the first 15 levels, then 2% the next five, that is diminishing returns. Rush: Basically, when a higher level character does quests for a lower level character so that he can get to the end of the game quickly Realm info: E=USeast, A= Asia, W=USwest, EU=Europe. HC=Hardcore, SC=softcore. L=ladder, NL=Non-ladder. Ex: E/SC/L means USEast realm, softcore, and ladder Ladder: Ladder is like a new realm. Ladder characters can't play with non-ladder characters. Every so often (ie whenever Blizzard feels like it, once so far) the ladder is reset, and all ladder characters become non-ladder. Then new ladder characters can be made, starting fresh. Benefits to ladder: Ladder only uniques, horadric cube recipes, and runewords The Pit: A cave in the Tamoe Highlands in act 1. In hell mode, it's a good place to look for socketables. Chaos: Chaos Sanctuary. In Hell mode, it grants pretty high experience up to level 60 c/c: Claw/claw. Referring to an assassin who uses two claws c/s: Claw/shield. Referring to an assassin who uses a claw and a shield s/s: Sword/Shield. Referring to a barbarian who uses a sword and shield PvP: Player vs Player PvM: Player vs monster BM: Bad mannered. Basically, things that make duels unbalanced (such as using a lot of cold absorb against an orb sorceress, making her attacks heal you, or using potions to heal) GM: Good mannered. Duels that follow certain rules to make it more fair r/d: Realm down c/i: Connection Interrupted. Makes you exit the game you're in and sometimes causes realm down wp: Waypoint tp: Town portal pp: Party please (how lazy people ask to be invited into your party) Run: When you do the same area repeatedly, for items or experience. For example, Andariel runs consist of killing Andariel over and over World Event: This is the name for when Diablo Clone spawns /players 8: A "code" that sets the players to 8, increasing monster strength and experience. Only works on single player. Type "/players x" to activate it, x being what you want the players set to (up to 8) Cow Level: Created by transmuting Wirt's Leg with a tome of town portal, after killing Baal on whatever difficulty you're in. A red portal will appear that will take you to a land full of giant walking cows with huge polearms (yes, they attack you). If you kill The Cow King, you can't make a portal in that difficulty again. gd: Good duel. Used in duels as a polite gesture gg: Same as above, but sometimes used in an insult, such as "I pwn you gg" ng: New game. Used to signify when a new game will be made, usually on runs (ie, from Baal run 01 to Baal run 02) (One more) | |
Build: A certain character type. For example, a blizzard sorceress build is a sorceress who uses blizzard. A "build" usually consists of specific stats, skills, and equipment. Transfer: Moving items from one character to another. Mule: A character used to store items Script: A game's description, displayed above the character listing. Some game names will be "Read script" or other such things. Game names have a shorter character limit than descriptions, so people use this for long trade offers Roll/Re:roll: Changing the stats on a magic item. Magic item + 3pgems + Horadrice cube = New stats. Stats are determined by the item level. (All done) | |
That's 52 new terms, by the way (yes, I was counting). --- Sever my arms, hack off my legs, crush these bones! Though I be reduced to dust, I will kill my enemy! -Ogami Itto, Lone Wolf and Cub | |
I hope you enjoyed bolding it all. --- ~MRG~ | |
Good Job! I like how it looks. --- Still thinking of one... D2: LOD (E/SC/L) Michael-C | |
Roll/Re:roll: Changing the stats on a magic item. Magic item + 3pgems + Horadrice cube = New stats. Stats are determined by the item level. The bolded part should be a "-". Whatever. --- Sever my arms, hack off my legs, crush these bones! Though I be reduced to dust, I will kill my enemy! -Ogami Itto, Lone Wolf and Cub | |
