Damage Per Second.


Hrm I guess I should explain further since this one has volved.

People used to calculate attacks based on DPS, what is more pwerful a swing that does 100 damage and taks 15 seconds, or a swing that does 52 damag and takes 5 seconds?   The best way to compare them is in Damage Per Second.

After 'DPS' became common terminology, people started talking about pure "DPS builds", or builds that are designed purely to pump out the most DPS without reguard to anything else such as protection or maneuverability or whatever.

Saying "I have a DPS rogue" means "I built a rogue based entirely on wanting to do the most damage"

In an MMO you may also hear people in a lagre raid call for a party to "switch to DPS or g DPS", which simply means "Stop doing whatever it is your class normally does and focus on damage."

Ah, I see now. I found Damage Per Second but couldn't see how it applied exactly. Your evolution makes sense. So this is why I see the contrast between a "tank" and a "dps". Tanks pay some attention to defense as well as offense, while dps is all about offense.

Now I know! And knowing is half the battle...the other half is violence.

But allso know there is a diffrence of a spike damageer and a DPS.

Rouges make realy good DPS's with daggers cause they do rapid damage over a short time.  While 2HD and Mages can do great SPIKES, doing massive damage all at once.

It is called burst damage, but it still goes under dps category. Dps is plain damage per second, recorded  usually during a certain fight, it doesnt matter if you did all your damage in single blast or steady chopping.

Sometimes burst is better, though. Especially if enemy has good HoT so you can avoid it with 1shot kills.

Or you just don´t see a point in a lousy dagger if you can have a big sword. One says Sword size reflects dick size, after all.

[DoctorPringles]

Even I have learned a few abbreviations here.

This should be stickied with all abbreviations moved to the OP. OP = Original Post/Poster, by the way.




Edit: Btw, CyberCat.... asl plx

-"And tonight, there's only one place he could be- the sci-fi convention."

-"Then let's go! And way to save precious seconds by abbreviating science fiction as sci-fi.
But next time, maybe say sci-fi con or S.F.C., because time is of the essence.
Or as we say at the agency, T.O. - No. No, wait.
Time is- is of-T.I.O. -T.I.O. - What am I spelling here?"

Sorry I've been waiting for a chance to quote this and a thread about abbreviations seems fitting.

Abbreviations can be fine but when you get different ones meaning the same thing or the same abbreviation meaning different things.
Heh it makes me think of the first time someone quoted me and just replied QFT(quoted for truth) and I replied "did you just tell me to shut up?" thinking it was "quit ****ing talking".

Evade tanking with class like rogue is possible but tricky if the class doesnt have aggro management tools like taunt. Pure damage can draw aggro pretty solidly but is not very reliable.

Unless one is a stupid mage that insists on starting every fight with AoE.  That's pretty reliable aggro... 'specially from the tank and healer. 

[mousestalker]

Not an abbreviation, but its important to remember that rouge belongs in your purse, not in your game. Rogues belong in your game and not in your purse.

Just ignore the obvious World of Warcraft players with their lazy abbreviations and jargon.  They inflicted stupid words like tank, aggro, and buff on the world.
