GW Lingo? - Guild Wars Forums

Just a few "buzz" words that I've seen in-game/in threads.

What do the following mean:
IGN (In game name?)
PUG
UW
WTB (Want to buy?)
WTS (Want to sell?)

I'll probably add more later when I see them.

DoT = damage over time (of spells that do damage for x seconds)
AoE = area of effect (of spells that do damage to all enemies in a certain area)
pulling = firing with longbow at a monster then retreating a bit, so you can fight one group of monsters at a time.
n00b = recursive insult. Anyone who insults others using the word 'n00b' is one.

What does the 15/50 or whatever mean?
I presume it has something to do with weapons, but not sure about the details.

pips=either health or energy regeneration/degeneration (those white arrows on the bars). IE, Life Siphon causes -3 pips at 16 blood.
