DPS-ing as a healer.

[RightMSJ]

DPS is an acronym that stands for damage per second.

It is a unit of measure, not a noun or a verb.

"Doing 50 or more DPS as a healer"
or

or
"Doing meaningful DPS as a healer"


You're welcome.

To bad in FF14 DPS classes are called DPS and not DD's.

Pretty much this.

It are no matter that DPS is "not a noun or a verb" like you claim, because it are not used how you think it should be used in video games. Yes, DPS are stand for "damage per second", but in video games (MMO in particular) it IS a noun or verb. It are not just an acronym.

So.. do you say "Mob Aggro Holder"? No? Then STFU.

Quit being a nuisance. The term FFXIV:ARR uses is DPS. Deal with it. You can't decide what they chose is stupid and correct people based on your preference. If they wanted to call the role BeachBallFlingers you would have to deal with me calling it that.
