DPS is role name ?

[Reslin]

Only in the games you played. I played FFXI from release until 2011 and never saw melee classes referred to as "dps" with the rare exception of the random WoW vet that would wander haplessly into Vanadiel and begin shouting for a party and referring to his/herself as a "dps". That was usually quickly followed by torches, pitchforks, and demands that the individual remove themselves back to WoW. Calling a DD "dps" never bothered me enough to respond to its use but I always did feel it was used inappropriately.

I still disagree. I do healing but I am a heal based class. A damage dealer does dps but is a dps based class. It's just as accurate as any other term. Just like people who use "Heals" instead of "Healer."
