Ranger / Cleric / Bard
It's a surprisingly decent combination. I don't know if it's "the best", but it's relatively sturdy since the ranger can handle pulling with harmony and roots usually, the bard is buffing, mana pumping, and support dps.

I don't think this can compete with monk/shaman/necro as "best", but I bet it would be a ton of fun. Some of the most fun I've had in EQ was in a static trio enchanter/cleric/bard where I played the cleric, although a lot of that was because the other players were cool, chill people, and we all were on discord so could easily coordinate what we each were doing on bad pulls.
But, like, you could probably swap the cleric to a necro, as then you have great bard/necro synergy and still plenty of healing power. And then if you swap the bard for a shaman, you'll improve the burst healing, have better haste and slow, still have good synergy with the necro with regen. And for pulling/tanking/dps the monk is probably better, albeit with less utility.
I wonder what bard/shaman/necro would be like. You'd be able to shift health and mana around in an unparalleled fashion. But when what do you do with all that mana? One scenario I'd love to see would be the bard pulling a whole mess of mobs and kiting them around with the aoe snare. Then necro and shaman can root-cc, dropping splurt and shaman epic on each. Would be messy and chaotic but I bet the dps would be off the charts.
Edit: Ah, splurt and shaman epic don't stack. Too bad.
