MDPS

What does MDPS stand for in WoW?

Melee damage per second

World of Warcraft (WoW) players use MDPS to stand for melee damage per second. This acronym refers to characters who specialize in dealing repeated physical damage in close-quarters combat.

High MDPS characters are often a party's primary frontline attackers. In contrast, characters with a high RDPS (ranged damage per second) usually attack from a range.
