A Guide to MMORPGs - Part I


DPS
Classes – Rogue, Assassin, Hunter, Mage, Champion, etc.

The damage you deal per second is called DPS (damage per second) for short; for convenience sake all damage dealing classes/roles are called DPS classes. The DPS classes have to make sure that they deliver the hurt quickly and in large doses. Some DPS classes do damage from a distance (Hunter, Mage) while others do it in melee range (Rogue, Hunter).

Most DPS classes are like glass tanks - they can dish out a lot of damage but can’t take the same. If you like the idea of being like a ninja that gets into battle, deals damage and gets out quickly, this role is for you. Rest assured, the role of DPS is one with the least responsibility; so if you’re the kinda person that doesn’t like taking up responsibility, this might be a good choice for you.
