/Monk is nice, for condition removal on yourself.
For High Damage, go /Paragorn and wield a spear while using attack speed increasing skills. And bring a pet for that matter.
You could also go /Elementalist for the conjure fire/water/lighting skills and Barrage away.
Or go /Ritualist for Splinter Weapon and Barrage away.
Or you could go /Warrior, wield a hammer, bring a pet (bit like the spear thing) for High Damage and conditions.
Or /Mesmer for spreading even more conditions with your bow with skills like Epidemic.
Or /Necromancer and you could play the Ranger Toucher build with the skills Vamperic Bite, Vamperic Touch and use expertise stances for blocking.
Or you could go /Dervish and wield a scythe and use Expertise to reduce the cost of the attack skills while using Lightning Reflexes to block and increase your attack speed.
Anything goes, depends on what you prefer.
Even more important, as you progress through the game you get the to unlock other secondary proffessions between wich you can switch whenever you want.
