B/O - Buyout (price)
Bump - To post in one's own thread to make it more visible due to thread ranking by last post time
Pst - Whisper, because that's the sound that's supposed to be made when you want to get someone's attention softly
C/O - Current offer

EDIT: Looked a couple of pages back, and the explanation for PST was actually correct, not my version. I stand enlightened :O

What does "BiS" mean?


BIS - Best in slot, meaning that that particular item is the absolute best possible one you can use (in its appropriate slot) in relation to that particular build/character.

Okay what is RF?


RF - Righteous Fire, an INT skill gem that makes you take fire damage over time in return for boosted spell damage. It's considered a part of the current metagame's S+ tier build currently.

Actually, I believe it's "buy it now (price)".

Spork - A portmanteau of the words "Spark" and "Fork", part of the gem combo for that S+ tier build mentioned above.

LS is leap slam and lig strike? You also fail on abbreviations for orbs and some of these are just not neccessary. If I said, "WTB ML" I think for the most part it woul go unnoticed apart from the one guy who pms to ask, "What the fuck is ML?"
Return to this flameless sunder
Where exiles burn and the joyless wander;
Frozen lore beneath chaotic thunder,
Dominus returns to send us under.

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.
