The content of this article is not part of official Warcraft lore, but has nevertheless become part of the World of Warcraft culture or community.
Pewpew is a playful way to refer to DPS -- especially ranged damage -- and its associated classes. Usually it is a teasing oversimplification of what DPSers are expected to do in a group: hit things quickly and repeatedly. It is also referenced in the expression less QQ, more pewpew, admonishing players to stop delaying play with discussion about nerfs, damage meters, or general arguing and simply just try harder at the task at hand.
More pejoratively, it may be used by healers and tanks who argue certain classes are always built around DPS regardless of spec, making them interchangable or disposable in groups. This contrasts with the danger an underperforming tank or healer creates for the entire party. Thusly, such players are only interested in the damage ultimately performed by DPSers rather than the associated class, spec, or twink minutiae.
