LoS C Line of sight. This is the vision restriction placed on projectile attacks and spells: if
a large object is between you and your target, your projectile attacks won’t hit, and you’ll get a message about your view being obstructed.
Mob C Short for “mobile,” an old term originally used in text-based online games to refer to
non-player characters. In gamer jargon these days, it mainly refers to the computer-controlled “enemies” in the PvE portion of a game.
NPC C Non-player character. Technically, this refers to any creature other than a player’s
character, and all of them (even henchmen and pets) are computer-controlled to some extent. Usually, when this guide refers to NPCs, it means friendly or allied non-player characters.
Nuke, nuking C This term refers to skills that deal damage directly, especially those that hit
multiple targets or an area.
PBAoE C Point-blank area of effect. Refers to a spell or skill that strikes an area centered
around the character that used it. The monk’s Heal Area is an example.
PvE C Player versus environment. Refers to the role-playing portion of the game, with all
of its adventuring and fighting against computer-controlled foes.
PvP C Player versus player. Refers to competitive battles between players, as in the
various arenas.
Spec C Short for “specialization.” Refers to the way a character’s attribute points have
been distributed.
Spike C Refers to doing a very large amount of damage or healing within a short period of
time, usually to a single target. For example, many elementalists and rangers specialize in “spike damage,” dealing large amounts of damage to one target suddenly and quickly.
ToPK C Tomb of the Primeval Kings. Refers to the original site of the ongoing global PvP
tournament. Heroes’ Ascent now fills that function.

[ ] Abaddon’s Mouth C Capture Fevered Dreams from Plexus Shadowhook (69/70, 29 skill points spent).
[ ] Complete mission #23, Abaddon’s Mouth; end up at Hell’s Precipice.
[ ] Hell’s Precipice C Capture Panic from Moles Quibus (70/70, 30 skill points spent).
[ ] Complete mission #24, Hell’s Precipice. A human party with at least two monks and a ranger who’s good at pulling will contribute to your survival. For your own part, bring whatever build you’re most comfortable playing, but if you can’t decide, a fighter shutdown build will do well here. Also, remember that you must defeat the mission’s final boss on top of the Bloodstone in order to vanquish him for good.

5.4. Glossary of Terms and Abbreviations
While writing, I’ve tried to remember to explain any terms that are specific to Guild Wars and online games in general. Even so, I may have missed some. If you don’t understand the meaning of a term used in this guide, hopefully this section will help. Terms are listed in alphabetical order and followed by a short explanation of their meaning.
Aggro C Short for aggression. Refers to the act of computer-controlled foes attacking a
player or his/her party. In a group situation, a player is said to “have aggro” from a foe if that foe is currently targeting that player with attacks or spells.
AoE C Area of effect. Refers to spells or skills that strike an area instead of one target.
Your Chaos Storm is an example.
Bury, burying C Refers to using one hex, enchantment, or condition on a target and then
using one or more other skills of the same type in order to make the first one more difficult to remove, since removal effects in Guild Wars generally remove only most recently-cast effect of a given type. For example, if you want to make your snare hexes harder to remove, you can “bury” them by casting Conjure Phantasm or Phantom Pain afterward.
GvG C Guild versus guild. Refers to the eight versus eight PvP combat format between
guilds with halls.
HA C Heroes Ascent. This is one of several PvP zones on the battle isles accessible by
PvP Only characters, or by role-playing characters travelling there from the port in Lion’s Arch or adjacent to Kaineng Center. Specifically, HA is the current home of the ongoing global tournament, in which teams of eight compete in a series of battles to control the Hall of Heroes.
