DPS

DPS

• A term that is often associated with MMORPGs, however it is not restricted to this.
• DPS translates directly into "Damage Per Second". This term comes from a statistic of the same name that simply refers to how much overall damage a character can do to an enemy in a given span of time.
• This term is often used as a title for an individual or character in a game that is meant to deal damage to an enemy. Their roles are to punch out as much damage as possible and down an enemy as quickly as possible.
