Short for Damage Per Second, DPS is the amount
of damage a weapon, other equipment, player, and/or group of
players can do against an enemy in an online game. DPS can also
refer to the type of equipment the player is using. For example,
a Priest in a MMORPG may have different type of equipment, DPS
equipment, which allows them to do damage and healing equipment,
which allows them to heal better.
