DPS

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.
