'''DPS''' or '''Damage Per Second''' is generally considered an [[MMO]] term, which describes how much damage a [[character]], [[spell]], skill, ability or item can produce on average per second.
DPS is now also shown on the individual [[item|weapons]] in Diablo III, which some players like and others dislike.
Another use of the term DPS is simply to explain that this [[class]] or [[monster]] is primarily there to deal damage. It's also often associated with "[[squishy]]" characters, who are essentially glass cannons - dealing massive damage, but are also easily killed.
