Abbreviation
- Damage Per Cast Second
- The amount of damage done by an attack, divided by the length of time for the attack animation to display on screen (aka the "Casting time").
- A metric used to compare the effectiveness of two powers, now preferred over the older Brawl Index.
DPCS differs from DPS in that it neglects Recharge time. Once a character has achieved a full Attack Chain without recharge gaps, DPCS is the more useful measure.
