Highest single target DPS against practice dummy for 30s?

monk
1

The highest DPS I was able to achieve was about 700K/s against the practice dummy. I have 1350 resonance, paragon 1150. Has anyone been able to get higher? If so, what’s the build? My build primarily relies on boosting fists of thunder and then adding damage skills around it. Feels way under-powered compared to other classes.
