Effective DPS is a term for a character's actual DPS, akin to what a [[DPS Meter]] would show if there was such a feature in Diablo 3.

Effective DPS is meant as a contrary or corrective to [[Sheet DPS]], which is what displays in the character window in-game, but which can give a very inaccurate picture of a character's actual damage output. Sheet DPS does not include bonus properties such as +damage to Elites, +damage to individual skills, and +[[damage to Elemental skills]], all of which can double or triple a character's effective DPS above and beyond the Sheet DPS.

* See the [[Sheet DPS]] article for many more details and Blizzard quotes on the issue.
* See more [[Reference]] terms.
