Argyle King
Legend
Haven't played in a while, but (in previous campaigns) paladin and warlock seemed to be the big damage dealers.
One of my early 5E characters was a bow-using fighter (battle master) with archery style. I may be misremembering, but I recall doing a lot of damage. Being able to stack on sharpshooter damage for multiple attacks was pretty good. Though, in hindsight, maybe it wasn't as good as I remember. The main thing was being able to hit hard from far away.
For me personally, Intypically find DPR to be a poor use for spell slots most of the time. Being able to warp reality and inflict crippling status effects can end a fight without chopping through hit points.
