Hi Folks!

Did you ever mind what PUG means? Or Push?

No?

Then read through this Topic and learn the different Shortcuts for a quick Conversation! Most People do not know them correctly, thats why i wrote them down here.

Let's start!


OOE

OOE means Out of Endurance. Mostly used by Melee Classes because they need Endurance for their Weapon Styles. Sprint also needs and reduces Endurance. Casts and Instants cost endu too. Endurance regenerates faster when standing still.


OOM/P

OOM/P means Out of Mana/Power. This Shortcut is mostly used by all Caster and Support Classes. Power is needed for casting Spells and using instants. Power do not regenerate normally when in combat (only with Power RA's like Raging Power).


OOC

OOC means Out of Concentration. Used by Supporter Classes to inform you that they cannot Buff anymore. Every Buff needs some Concentration.


PUSHING

Pushing means moving quickly towards Enemies to avoid them getting regrouped and collected. Pushing is the Opposite of Fallback.


FALLBACK

Fallback means stop chasing your Enemies and return to your Group Leader immediately, no matter what. This is used for getting regrouped, when your Group is splitted too far.


SPLITTING

Splitting is a formation shortcut. Splitting means split out. Most advanced groups use this to avoid getting AoE (Area of Effect) mesmerized/stunned/rooted/damaged. Only possible in wide Areas.


ROAMING

Roaming is used to run around in an area hoping for incoming. For examplte, most used in Battlegrounds, when a Zerg of another Realm camps at the Centerkeep. Sometimes, groups roam around an imporant spot to catch up Reinforcements or levelgroups.


INCOMING

Incoming is an akronym for one or more Enemies that are moing towards the Group. In RvR, incoming means, your group has contact with another group of an enemy realm.


PUG

A PuG (Pick up Group) is also known as random group. This group contains players which are just invited to have a fullgroup. Most common group setup.


SET GROUPING

A Set group (SG) is based on players which play almost everytime together. Everyone know what he has to do. This type of Grouping is used by Guilds and Friends.


ORGANIZED GROUPS

An organized Group (OG) contains players which plays lovely together. Most time, they met new Buddies to play with. Not an expert group one like a Set group but better experienced than a PuG.


MA

MA stands for Main Assist. Main Assists are often Lighttanks, because of their Determination and Charge Abilities. Main Assists give Target for the whole group to attack. Some hybrid groups also choose a caster MA.


SPOTS

Spots are special Areas with some special things. For example, Hulk Spot in Darkness Falls contains strong Mobs and a very fast respawn time. People divide Spots into Farmspots and Levelspots.


RAIDING

Raids a Groups which were built for a defined Goal. For example, a Darkness Falls Raidgroup kills all Enemies in that Area. Dragonraid Groups move to the Dragonzone and attack the Realmdragon.


KITING

Kiting is the Art to kill without being touched. Most caster kite in groups. Kiting means you root your target, run back abit and damage it with Bolts, DirectDamage, Dots or Arrows. Kiting is the most common Playstyle for Caster.


ADD(ING)

Adding is the word for entering Combatmode, while another Realmmate (or group) is fighting against an Enemy. The Uthgard Community is splitted up into Adder-Hater, Adder-Lover and Adder-neutral ones.


BUFFS

Buffs are the Opposite of Debuffs.
Buffs make your character stronger in every way. Buffs can come with Damage Add, Statbuffs, Swing Speed Increase, extra Armor Factor.
Remember, Buffbots aren't allowed on Uthgard and will be banned!


PROCS

Procs is the short version of process. Procs are effects which activates themselve randomly. For example, DirectDamage Procs on weapon will proc when striking with this weapon. Procs on Armor will activate, when that armor piece gets hit by an Enemy. Shield Procs are different; Reactive Procs activate when you block with your shield. Active shield procs activate when you attack with your shield (Shieldstyles).


CHARGE

Do not mistake with Charge Ability of Lighttanks!
Charge are special Buffs on your equipment. Charges have Uses. You can refill the Charges by using a grand recharge stone or talking to the Recharge NPc (cost Gold). Charges can have a maximum of 10 Uses.


WTB

WTS = Want to Sell

WTT = Want to Trade

SC = Spellcrafter
AL = Alchemist
FL = Fletcher
SI = Sieger = Siegecrafter


SCED

The Term "sced" informs you about the Armor/Template of you/your opponent. Sced means you are already spellcrafted and have all on cap you need. Spellcraft Templates can be very expensive.

CC is short for Crowd Control. Crowd Control contains spells like Root, Stun and Mesmerize.
