DPS wanted

[Kenzan]

I've started playing endgame this past few weeks and been fun so far. There is one concern I have atm, my lack of dps.
I play a monkcher (I made some changes that may have nerfed it a bit :P) and that got me thinking; what builds provide high dps needed for high lv reaper?
Been doing some research and can only come up with:
A Tree
A Monkcher
A Warlock (decked out one)

Im wondering if there is something else that can be considered. Any help/advice will be appreciated

Well in my experience; melees can get very viable levels of DPS with some good gear/building well. There is that problem that if you even think of making a mistake in high level reaper you die though...

Shuriken throwers are never out of the picture when it comes to dps in high level stuff.

Lots of people proclaim that sorcs do more damage then warlocks. Haven't really run either a sorc or a warlock so I wouldn't know.

Don't forget shiradi! :P
I agree with Selvera, melee can do a lot of DPS, the key thing is that you need the ability to survive while doing that damage. In addition, a lot of Xbow builds also do a lot of dmg, and being ranged is always a plus for survivability. Good CC'ers can contribute to dps as well, if not through their own dmg, through boosting that of the party's as well as letting melee do their full dps without having to worry about incoming dmg. Wolves also have great dmg. As far as casters go, a well built sorc/lock can do great dps, though I think it takes a very well built sorc to perform well through damage (and not cc/charm/instakills) in end game reaper. However, I'm not really an expert on any of these classes, just chiming in with my opinion, based on what I've seen.

Couple of crazy high dps builds I have seen are rogue great crossbow mechanic (hits for several thousand damage per hit), wizard archmage with ruin/greater ruin (hits for 20k/40k damage every 15 secs) but both of those are crazy squishy.

Red sonja I have heard is also pretty great in dps
