Mr.Mageo talks about Game terms.

This guide is in response to the loads of questions i receive in game pertaining to various terminology in the game. Most of these terms have been lost since the reease of ToA. Also i noticed the last one has been burried under a few years of stuff.

General Terms:
  • Hate(Enmity)- All actions taken on Mob or players engaged to Mob build Hate(Enmity). The player with most Hate(Enmity) will likely be the one targeted by the mob.
  • Hate Control- This is the act of directing a mobs hate elsewhere through use of ablities (Provoke, SATA, Accomplice).
  • Skillchain(SC)- Acheived through combonations of weaponskills, their are 3 levels of skillchains, increasin in power per level. Skill Chains cause elemental damage to a mob and lower its resistance to that element
  • Magic Burst(MB)- Elemental Magic(NUKE) is cast on the mob following a skillchain to produce a high damaging spell.
  • MOB- Enemy Target
  • DD- Damage Dealer, classified under 3 sections Melee DD- a DD that attacks a MOB at close Range (ie. Samurai), Range DD- a DD that attacks from a far using ranged skills (ie. Ranger), Magic DD- one who DD's using eleental magic (ie. BLM). Generally the jobs that DD out put high numbers of damage.
  • Melee- A job that engages the mob at close range but does not fall under the term "DD" (i.e RDM)
  • Tank- A job that will take the brunt of the damage, will also try and hold the most Hate on the MOB (ie. PLD,WAR)
  • 1st/2nd Voke- Jobs that will take the hate from a mob for a period of time to allow the tank to recast shadows, heal himself etc. (aka back up tank)
  • Hate Control(2)- A pob who manipulates a MOB's hate towards another player, Through use of abilities such as SATA, and Accomplice. Can add hate or remove hate from players. (ie. THF, /THF)
  • Healing- A job who is responsible for maintaining the health and status of a party. (.ie WHM)
  • Support- A job that assists the party through status enhancing spells or abilities, also assists through causing abnormal status effects on a Mob (ie. RDM,BRD)
  • PL- Power level, the act of being supported by high level player to assist the leveling process.
  • SATA Partner- A job who will receive the effects of SATA ,usually the tank. Required for the use in Hate Control
  • Back Up Healing/Nuke- A job that will assist the healer with his/her duties, also will assist the Magic DD in preforming MB and overall damage. (.ie SMN,RDM,SCH)
  • Zone- Change of areas
  • D2- Japanese short form of Warp 2.
  • Burn PT- Special Type of party falls under 2 classes MP Burn- A party where magic is spammed rapidly for fast kills. TP Burn- A party where weaponskills are spammed rapidly for fast kills
  • SC/MB PT- refred to as traditional party, uses skillchains and magic bursts to kill mobs faster. Often requires many skilled players to preform well.
Party Terms
  • Puller- One who is responsible for getting mobs and returning to camp with them.
  • Camp- Location the party will fight at
  • TNL/M- To next level/Merit- (.ex John whats your TNL?/ I am 600 TNL)
  • Leecher- A player who is not doing anything for party but still earning experience points
  • Rep- Replacement player, a person leaving will generally find a replacement for himself

Thats all i have for now ill update it as i think of more

"Lost"?

If a term is no longer in usage, then it's no longer important to the population. Unless you mean something else by "lost"?

In any case, there's a nice little collection of FFXI Terms and Slangs over at FFCIclopedia.

Re: Mr.Mageo talks about Game terms.

I feel confident in saying that almost everyone who reads this forum does know those terms, though. So they haven't been lost to us. And the people they have possibly been "lost" to aren't going to read the forums anyway.

Re: Mr.Mageo talks about Game terms.

So a few idiots ask questions and you feel you need to explain basic terms to everyone on a totally unrelated forum? >_>

Also:

Rdm is FAR from an example of a Melee. Shoulda used Dnc if anything.

Hate Control is *everyones* job, not just the Thf. It means knowing how much enmity you make and holding back enough so that you're at peak efficiency without pulling hate from the tank. Like a melee not stacking all their buffs then dropping a massive WS at the start of a fight, a Blm knowing not to chain nuke, Rngs knowing not to pull with Barrage and healings knowing not to spam curaga mid fight.

And on that note, 1st/2nd Voke has nothing to do with backup tanking and everything to do with SA set up.

Backup healing/nuke is PART of Support. Support's job is to support the party anyway they can, through buffs, debuffs AND backup healing/nuking. It's part of the job.

Re: Mr.Mageo talks about Game terms.

Didn't we have a thread similar to this a long, long time ago. Don't really think its ground that needs to be covered and if it does, we can just find that old thread and place it in new player's discussion.
