I was thinking about this recently.

None of it bothers me in any way, but I was questioning to a friend why we call the hit point reducers "dps" or "dpsers".

They aren't damage per seconders. They are hit point reducers. Their DPS is a stat of their character, not what their character is. So when I see Damage Dealer in this game, I think, hey...that actually makes more sense.

...but then I throw out a call in my FC and say "any DPS wanna come do WP?"

like I said, none of it bothers me, but DPS makes no sense when I think about it now.
