    Thank you, everyone who helped me get through Anhk NM last Saturday. I had a blast. Teddyisme and I finally got through it after 6 tries. We spent around 7 hours total...

    It has been awhile since I have been able to sit down and play any game that long... Had last Saturday off. Not sure, when I will get another one.

    Anyhow, I feel a bit guilty. I feel as though every time I log on I need help. I apologize. This community is great. I really appreciate the help.

    Please, do not hesitate to tell me no... I do not want to burden others.

    Hey, quick question. When somebody mentions "dabs" for dps why is it called that? I understand it is pistol shotgun... Just do not understand the story behind it...

    You guys are Awesome!!!

    DABS = DA + BS = Deadly Aim and Breaching Shot

    Basically a build carrying both of those group buffs

    Hey!
    Don't feel guilty for asking for help! Trust me, all of us were there at one point, who needed help, guidance, or had questions about tweaking things.
    I still feel like a noob after playing this game for a year now, but I have enough knowledge to help beginner players.

    Also, some quick acronyms you might seen thrown around:
    DABS = Deadly Aim + Breaching shot (Pistol + Shotgun)
    SF = Short Fuse (Elemental)
    SoH = Slight of Hand (Misc skill, top slice, VERY useful against 5th boss in Polaris)
    WW = Win Win (Pistol - useful cleanse skill used in NM dungeons)
    CU = Cleanup (Shotgun - useful cleanse skill used in NM dungeons)

    How should I glyph my minor talisman for my dps gear?

    Right now:
    Head - Pen
    Neck - woodcutter
    Finger - hit
    Wrist - hit

    Thank you.

    Have a look at this thread:

    However, there are changes incoming, so it's hard to say exactly what will be optimal soon.
