Guide to Ranged DPS: Gameplay Tips and Class Selection
Following our earlier
guide to tanks and tanking
, today we have a similar guide to ranged DPS. Like the earlier tanking guide, this is aimed at newer players, or players who want to try a new role.
Guide to Dealing Damage and Ranged DPS.
Dealing damage, or, in short, DPSing, is one of the most common roles in World of Warcraft, which can be separated in two large groups:
Those who do damage mostly to nearby enemies, or, as we call, enemies in melee range.
Those who do damage to enemies usually from a far distance.
This guide will cover the latter group, helping you pick within the options available from all the classes and explaining the basics that every DPS should know!
Dealing damage is the most competitive role in World of Warcraft. Ranged damage dealers have a few basic responsibilities:
Make sure to deal as much damage as possible.
Position yourself properly to make sure to be in range of your enemies and not standing in something bad.
Unless explicit told to, avoid to stay nearby other raid members.
Kill enemies quickly so tanks and healers can have an easier time.
