I opened up this thread, if you have suggestions for TQ-related abbreviations, please post them here, so they can be added to the Opening Post (OP).

[demilich]

ADCtH - Attack Damage Converted to Health
CtAP - Chance to Avoid Projectile

[yerkyerk]

Thanks! I added those. Now we can start to build up our TQ-specific nerd dictionary

[Kir4]

Did I just hear "nerd"?

Errrr.... So "FU" means "Flip you"?

One more: "OMFG" => Oh my flipping God.

=> There's one "IIRC" too much in the OP. (Yeah, already using the ND)

==> "ND"= "Nerd Dictionary"

And I miss "ROFL" (Rolling on the floor and laughing)

And how about this: "PBAoE"= Point Blank Area of Effect (spells that activate at the caster's location)

[yerkyerk]

PBAoE? Lets not make it more complicated than it is

[jiaco]

General:
SID "savefile is down"
HDIIT "how do i install this"
SHIIT "should i install this"
HDIURF "how do i unpack rar-file"

TQspecific:
WMSIC "what mastery should i choose"
IRoTF "is ravages of time fixed"
PAO "portal at olympus"

[Kir4]

A few more:

FUBAR: "Flipped up beyond all repairs"

AFAIR: "As far as I remember" (boring one)

RTFM: "Read the flipping manual"

and, my all-time-favorite:

SNAFU: "Situation normal - all flipped up"

jiaco-

SHIIT "should i install this"

Sorry, I couldn't help noticing that this Sticky was re-opened. And shouldn't that be "SIIT"? Cause that looks a bit "wrong" to me.


Kir4-

SNAFU: "Situation normal - all flipped up"

[Kir4]

I can't believe the ND made it

Although a few of my later suggestions were waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better...
