Just slightly more important than this being a balanced group (good tank, best healer, decent dps/puller, slow/clarity), it's the classes we wanted to play

Good advice. You have got to play the classes you "want" to play, or things won't be as fun

Also, off-topic - Ektar, I was a jerk to you a few weeks back when I thought you were just being spammer to raise post count for no reason, but I've consistently noticed your posts are good quality. Sorry for my words before

so i was contacted by a long time EQ buddy a couple of days ago about playing EQ again. I mentioned that i had an account here from about a year ago, but i didnt really get into it because i didnt have a friend to play with. And we all know EQ1 is all about grouping. So he went ahead and found some other people that will play about 1-2 nights a week.
so far this is our group comp.
Gn Cleric
WE bard
HE ranger
pally of some sort
and prob a wizard (no confirmation on this)
think this is a decent group makeup? i dont remember much about good group makeup, but i believe we have most of the buffs and the trinity accounted for outside of the enchanter.
I know we kind of want to be self sufficient since this is a private server, and while the largest one out there, still nowhere close to the old days of the servers we used to play on in regards to population counts.

As has been said, not bad, but not the best.
If there's wiggle room in the classes your friends want to play, a chanter is an excellent choice. My main is a 54 wizard, and I do not recommend them for groups aside from AoE groups (which are extremely niche and really only 53+). Not that they can't contribute, but they probably add the least to any group of all the classes.
There's a bit of overlap between Bard/Chanter, but the mana regen you get from both bard song and clarity is pretty substantial. Chanter melee haste buffs are also vastly superior than any of the bard songs.
And having more than 1 person able to CC effectively will prevent you from wiping.
Depending on the potential wizard friend's preferences, a shaman or chanter would be a very good choice. If I could tweak the ranger into going rogue or monk, I would

Ektar offered as well, but please let me know if I can provide free ports to get you and your group together and bound in the same places
[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] PM me or send me a tell in game to arrange a time when you need the ports.
