DPS[edit]
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. While this term can often denote melee characters which can perform high damage, it can also include ranged and spellcaster classes as well.
Ranged Classes[edit]
Melee Classes[edit]
- Barbarian
- Fighter - Kensei enhancements
- Paladin - Knight of the Chalice enhancements
- Ranger - Tempest
- Rogue - Assassin
- Favored Soul1 - Angel of Vengeance, as well as most Faiths allow for melee bonuses, especially Bladesworn.

Spell Caster Classes[edit]

- Favored Soul1 - Angel of Vengeance with the Light of the Flame capstone.
Notes[edit]
