In this clip we're going to talk about DPS. DPS is damage per second. Every weapon does
a certain amount of damage every second. Every spell does a certain amount of damage per
second. We're going to talk about DPS classes. Now there are various roles in the world of
warcraft. When you team up with players to go accomplish a mission together, you clean
out a dungeon of all the monster's, or you kill a specific boss, or you even just do
a group quest. You want different types of characters to fulfill different roles in that
group. One of the important roles that you need to fill is a DPS character. Which basically
means a character that does a lot of damage, often times these characters aren't as, they
need help because they can do a lot of damage but they can't take much damage before they're
killed. So many of them are easily killed but that's why you came up with other characters
who fill different kinds of roles. Examples of a DPS character would be a mage. A mage
can throw fireballs and blow things up and do massive amount of magical damage. But,
a mage can only wear cloth armor so he would need a friend who had metal armor, magical
metal armor to distract the monster while he beats it down with magical spells. Other
examples of DPS characters are things like rogue's. Rogue's do massive amounts of damage
in hand to hand combat but they can only wear leather armor so those types of DPS characters
can do a lot of damage but they often times need help to accomplish their goals. But they're
DPS characters.
