Iscaria Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) My heal spec sage can deal damage so that makes him a damage dealer right? So if you asked for a damage dealer I'd be perfectly within reason to join your group. Se how your argument fails? Damage Dealer is someone who specializes in damage. Not a damage per seconder.

Which means you can't call them damage dealers. I understand this concept is difficult for a lot of you to wrap your minds around, but please bare with me.

Dayshadow Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I don't care what the devs call it. It's not logical. And you think your science is superior to our science!!! A DD is a designated driver!! Ergo, we use the term DPS. It is the only logical conclusion. Accept our answer to the Great Question... or face the consequences. Science be praised!!!! Also, in this game a "twink" is a lvl 50 player in a WZ with full battlemaster gear. Spread the word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPS is used in those games because it's a term to measure the amount of damage per second a character does. Half those games do not refer to the classes in them as DPS.

Dianoia Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Language doesn't give meaning to itself. Just because a term is correct linguistically, doesn't mean it is correct. If people decide DPS means a person who does damage, that's what it means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaximusRex Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I don't care what the devs call it. It's not logical. You ask for a Tank. You ask for a Healer. You don't ask for a damage per second. DD has been the correct terminology in every MMO I've ever played. Just cause the devs of this one game decided to call it dps doesn't make it right. The correct term for a damage dealing class has and always will be DD. 15 years of playing games in various communities disagrees with you, I've never seen anyone call it DD, always DPS. You'd be best off growing a thick skin about it, because your team just doesn't have a chance of winning this battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
