[edit] DPS

DPS, is a commonly used misnomer in MMOs for one who deals damage.

It actually stands for Damage Per Second, referring to the measure of a weapon or character's effectiveness, not the actual person.

This is also often used in DDO to refer to a class or build whose primary purpose is damaging enemies.

[edit] Ranged Classes

Artificer
Ranger - Arcane Archer
Rogue - Mechanic

[edit] Melee Classes

Barbarian
Fighter
Paladin
Ranger - Tempest
Rogue - Assassin
Favored Soul1 - Angel of Vengeance, as well as most Faiths allow for melee bonuses, especially Bladesworn.

[edit] Spell Caster Classes

Wizard - Pale Master / Archmage
Favored Soul1 - Angel of Vengeance with the Light of the Flame capstone.

[edit] Notes:

  • 1 - Divine class DPS is often considered secondary to the roll of healer. Check with your party leader to confirm your role.
