Priest's Dictionary
For those of you who wish to be healed by my illustrious undead priest, Scabby, you may notice me using some strange terms in Party Chat. This Priest Dictionary will help you translate them and make you an invaluable member of my party.
add: This is short for 'additional monsters needed' and is used when the monster you are fighting is an easy kill and the priest feels the team can handle more. When you hear this, run into adjoining rooms and pull more monsters into the fight.
afk: This common term stands for "Attack, Fight, Kill" and is the priest's way of telling you to go pull mobs.
brb: An acronym, this is short for "Boss Room Battle," and is a priest's way of telling the team it's time to fight the instance boss. Note that you will also sometimes see "afk brb," meaning the same thing.
oom: If your priest says this after a fight, make sure you toss them a minor mana potion before you run three rooms down and start another major fight.
puller: The team's puller has the important job of "pulling" the team into fights. Usually this is accomplished by having an HP gimped teammate run into a room and fire off at least three AoE attacks, thereby pulling the rest of the team into the room to save him. Note that the puller does not have to be the same person every time, and it is often best if different people pull in order to keep the priest guessing who will drop to 1/3 their life.
tank: This is the person whose job it is to pull mobs to the priest.
wait: "wait" is a bit tricky. While it sounds like the word "wait," as in 'stop,' what the priest is really saying is a shortened version of "waste it all." meaning destroy everything in the area. Priests will use this if they want you to start charging the instance.
WTF!?!: This means "Way To Fight" and is used to compliment you on your brilliant tactical choices.
