    DPS=damage per second. Also meant as 'character specializing in doing damage'
    Nerfing = lowering effectiveness of (usually because an ability is too powerful)

    But really, google is your friend ;-)

    well its OK to use NPC, DPS, ETC... but AFAIK terms like F2P and P2W are like OMFG not allowed. So IMO you need to learn all the correct phrasing ASAP...OK...NP

    Nerfing isn't a acronym, it's just slang.

    But Googling will give you definitions for terms 96% of the time.
    People believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!
