Battlemage could be labelled as BTM or BMG.
Wind Devil = WD
Port Valbury is usually referred as PV.
I’ve never seen Port Valbury abbreviated as PV.
I’ve seen quite a lot of people referring to Port Valbury as PV.

There is more, but you get the picture.
Do you…talk to people? O.o
Add GnB (gun and board) for when pistol + shield becomes viable
ha
On a serious note, I’ve seen Zantarin abbreviated as “Zant” and Iron Maiden as IM or Maiden. Can we start calling Benn’Jarr “Benny”? Is that a thing?
Don’t forget about MQ for Rashalga, the Mad Queen.

Lol. Just what I needed on break.

“You wreck my world. Everybody knows I’ve never been with a girl! I ain’t no sicko there’s a plate in my head!”
Sorry, just the way you said it made me think of one of my fav songs. Spread the love.

It is, yes. I’ve seen it used and used it myself from time to time.
Why not BJ? :rolleyes:
Sorry, but Battlemage is already abbreviated as BaMa. Discord had the jump on you there. 
Thanks for all the suggestions, updated. Let’s hope for more cool stuff to abbreviate come xpac!

…and from paragraph
“1. Mirror + blast shield combo. With high enough CDR you can almost cast it back to back. Mad Queen kill sequence goes like this: Place termite mines (you can totally cc it with this but we are not abusing here ) trow flash bang at it and start spamming bwc, when MQ approaches and hits you, your blast shield will activate and give you 4 secs to spam bwc (make sure that you keep her under efect of flash bangs whole time, so use it every 4-5 secs, also dont forget to nullify when needed), when blast shield goes down as son as she hits you once use mirror that will give you 3 secs more to spam bwc. When mirror goes down use ToM and keep spamming bwc If you are lucky your blast shield will get out of CD and activate again (in this case she is 100% facetankable) if not she will proc your mark. With mark proc you have 3 more secs of invulnerability so just keep spamming bwc. When mark goes off your blast shield will be out of CD for sure so it will activate and you have 4 secs more to spam bwc. When blast shield goes down use mirror for 3 more secs of invulnerability and bwc spamming. If all your defenses are on CD kite a bit and repeat the sequence more carefully cuz now you dont have a mark proc. For even better results you can use sequence that opens with mirror cuz AV proc is reducing Mirors but not blast shield CD but that requires some practice.”
ToM - no clue
mark - no clue
Hasn’t gotten bumped in awhile, so I thought I’d do this in case we have any new players struggling to understand the jargon being thrown around in the forums.
I get that there aren’t many posts in this section of the forums, but maybe this is worth a sticky?
Thanks. This is great community I appreciate the helpful stuff for newbies like me.
thank you. been reading the guides and was puzzled at what MI meant 
Another invaluable sticky! All the Grim Dawn acronyms reminds me of texting conventions:
Whoa… Never heard of no “legs” - sounds like leg armor (pants) or a cute nickname for MQ (she has many legs…). And VoS? Vortex of WHAT?
GFB? (E)WoF?” SoB? If you asked me, “Can you craft SoB?” I’d be like “WTF did you just call me?”
These things are niche. Can’t abbreviate everything. Know da/oa and rr and you’re good to go.
Could add locations as well like SoT (steps of torment), BoC (bastion of chaos). There might be others.
I’ve seen people use “Kraken” instead of “Kra’Vall”, not sure if it counts as abbreviation though
Kraken is a devotion.
hola buenas quisiera saber que significan unas abreviaturas que hay en los nombres de las builds por ejemplo
[Caster] [1.0.6.1] (hc)(c+)(vid)(g5) 3devas Anasteria (Tanny26)
la hc c+ vid g5 y todas esas , que no se que significa , gracias de antemano
hc : Hard core character.
c- : can clear crucible up to wave 150 on gladiator difficulty
c : can clear crucible up to wave 170 on gladiator difficulty
c+: can farm crucible up to wave 170 on gladiator difficulty using a maximum of 4 Buffs and no Banners in 12 minutes.
vid : The build has a video associated with it. Check the build’s thread/post for the link.
l : The build has a leveling/progression guide.
g# : The build is dependent on specific gear with a value ranging from 1-5. The higher the number, the more gear dependent it is. Refer to the following for more details:
g1 : beginner builds. Those that can be easily done on your first character. Builds that feature full or almost full faction gear are the ones that belong here. A build should only be rated as g1 if it features a faction gear setup cause those are the easiest items to find.
g2 : Flexible itemization or farmable set dependent builds. No fancy MIs required unless it’s self-found. Krieg builds and Dark One builds are good examples. Basically gearing has multiple options.
g3 : No MI, full legendary/set builds with craftable boots. Also includes +5 (skill) Badge of Mastery builds.
g4 : Builds one mandatory MI with fixed affixes, excluding crafted boots.
g5 : Same as above but with more than one MI
