What is DPS? / Warrior build question.

[Ta11on]

Whats is DPS? How do you increase it?

I want to make a Warrior who deals higher damage and is faster and is less of a tank. I'm guessing DPS means damage per second, but that is a total guess. Any help?

Damage Per second

Weapons and strength increase it.
One handed weapons specifically

DPS is a simple calculation based on the damage output of your weapon divided by the attack rate, something like this:
((min damage + max damage) / 2 ) / attack rate

Dexterity boosts DPS more than any other stat, so if you want a high DPS warrior you might want to think about being a bow warrior. With the high-end bows and Rage you can easily get over 100 DPS when you're lvl 30+.
