I have found a trio of Wizard, Enchanter, and Shaman to be fantastically flexible

I'd take a druid over a wizard, the extra damage doesnt offset POTG/Regen/DS especially when you are using hasted enchanter pets. Extra oh shit heals way better with a non torpor shaman.

clr/ench/tank. monk if you need splits, war if you dont need splits. IMO theres not a lot of wiggle room on this. There will be no way to win this argument with words. You have to farm a lot with a few different classes to learn for your self. I would say ench/clr/war overall for better xp tanking and less limits on what you can tank at 60.

There is wiggle room, that is not the only strong trio. You don't need a Cleric or Warrior as a requirement. Only fixed class is Enchanter due to their unique CC abilities combined with high DPS from charm. As I mentioned above, most people misunderstand how good CH is for most of the leveling process.

There aren't a lot of trio mobs that need Warrior discing. That's basically up to OP in terms of what they want to farm at 60, and if they want to expand their group size endgame.

yah is war/clr/ench and its not up for debate

What's the best trio of classes to do dungeons and self farm gear as you level?

Warrior, Cleric, Enchanter is the answer to this question. The weak spot in this trio for what op is asking is the heals. Bringing a sham or weaker tank makes the heals worse. The cleric feels weak while leveling and struggles with mana, a backup healer can be nice for steady pulls. A shaman or druid only as heals will not cut it. The slows and haste will not be an option for the shaman while they are the only healer, this will always be done by the ench. The cleric gets sup heal at 34, sham at 51... Take a look at the hp/ac buffs. Im not going to bother but im sure its a win by quite a lot for the cleric. If we are talking xping on loot camps for appropriate levels like op is asking it is clearly war/clr/ench.

The warrior can run around with a bow chain pulling with this trio. Nothing else can sustain this as well as this trio. If the warrior uses some discretion for pulls there is no down time and the kill rate is unmatchable. Still feels OP without twinking.

You haven't played enough if you think CH is the only way to efficiently mitigate damage while leveling. This is simply not the only answer, and you can do basic math to prove it.

You have a tendency to come into arguments with a bunch of technical vagrancies that dont mean anything. We are not talking about ways to efficiently mitigate damage while leveling. We are talking about the best leveling trio for keeping name ph's down while xping. You take your shaman trio into any dungeon for xp and the clearing power will be tiny compared to cleric/ench/war it doesnt matter how much technical nonsense you spew about CH. We do not need an equation. We need to go back to grade 5 logic.

Claiming you are right without evidence is what you are doing. I am sorry, but that means nothing. Here, let me do it "I am right, and you are wrong".

See? Now we are at an impasse. The difference is I can show the math, and you can't. It is grade 5 math as well. I am not sure what you think games are other than a series of mathematical equations with rules. There is no magic here.

ok lets see the math for how a trio with a shaman can get more xp/pp an hour than a war/clr/ench trio from 1-60. You dont have the math because there is no trio with a shaman that can do this. This is why we dont need the math. but please explain what you are talking about

I am happy enough to bow out of this conversation, one, I did not keep 'best' in mind, and I did not answer in that vein. Two, I am hardly a "master" of the game, and while I have seen plenty of things work that involved "unwanted" classes, I am happy to admit that there probably is some mystical perfect, mathematical best, and that people who have been playing the game from it's inception, and followed right along to P99 at founding.
