It's called "Loot"

[Xatsh]

DD never meant Damage Dealer though.... in the mmo world it means Direct Damage.

Any DPS class that doesn't use dots is a DD

In XI it ment Damage Dealer. Anything that had a primary purpose of killing the mob was considered a DD.

In XI:

Spike Dmg: Large Damage Burst but not sustainable over time (Drk, Drg, Blm, Rng, Sam)... on a graph these players would cause large spikes in dmg sometimes 2-3times higher then the sustained dmg. Aka like a sustained dps of 100 but they can spike it to say 300-400 for 20 secs every 3-4mins.
DoT (Damage Over Time): Mnk, Duel Wield War, Pup... on a graph it would be almost flatline with constant dmg. Aka say a constant 150dps that varies little.
