Path of Exile commonly used abreviations

Hello,

As PoE is soon entering it's open beta phase I guess it's time to show newcomers some insight on the abreviation people use widely in the forum and in game. Current forum users might find this topic usefull as well.

This is a work in progress, far from beeing complete.
Your help is more than welcome to track any abreviation I surelly missed or even spelling mistakes and so on.

Really like it. You should consider to talk to the guy who made the F.A.Q..
He could add this list to the F.A.Q..

Bump.
Excellent this should be stickied somewhere
Underrated stats: Basic human decency, small quantum of respect, microportion of compassion
Agreed. Or why not add it to the wiki?

I think it'd much more organized as a source of info.

If OP doesn't mind I'll add it over there.
Basics of how to play (by Malice): tinyurl.com/72wrafn
Walkthrough for Act I and II (by KrapnoV) : tinyurl.com/7w3a3gd
Mechanics - how the game works (by Malice) : tinyurl.com/6p4zbl5
Crafting Guide (by Invalesco) : bit.ly/craftpoe
Mechanics videos (by Eztheal) : bit.ly/UTwFAV
A lot of these aren't used.

Also:


RM : Reduced Mana

Most people refer to this as RMC (reduced mana cost)
IGN: Jerk, Princess

You could add: IAS - increased attack speed

@Singakiwi : feel free to copy anything I write on the forum... it's copyright free ;)

@taekvideo : well... those I did put in the current list are some I did encounter. Now, I can't statistically say whether they are "commonly used" or not.

@Never_nou : I'm not sure all of those would be used in normal conversation.. they seem pretty much belonging to a theorycraft post. And even then... Minion Equipment ? Huh... what do you mean by that.
