It is pretty clear you don't know much about this game when you think respawn timers are hypothetical, or that Enchanters are never used for pulling. But not surprising from someone who offers nothing but insults.

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

To OP, don't get fooled by the lazy players who think Clerics are the only healer who can efficiently level a trio to 60. Trios make the leveling experience trivial to begin with, you don't need to min/max to level efficiently. Some people think raiding is how levels 1-60 work apparently. You can easily math out how much HP Complete Heal gives you back, and how much HP a standard player/mob would have in each level range. It isn't like this information is hidden, or hard to figure out.

Worry more about what you want to farm during the level process/endgame, and build your team based on that. Realistically I wouldn't even worry too much about what gear you want to farm while leveling. Just try out the mob, and if the content is too hard, come back in a few levels. Many of the lower level mobs that drop the gear you are looking for can be beaten with a good level advantage. Shaman/Enchanter/Monk is a very powerful combo, and most people who come here spouting nonsense because they have some weird grudge end up saying Shaman/Enchanter/Monk is good in another thread.

Best leveling duo: Ench/Cleric

Best untwinked dungeon soloer (excluding Ench): Necro

Fills the few holes that Ench/Cleric are missing (i.e. snare, FD): Necro

Largely redundant when grouped with Ench/Cleric: Shaman

Winning EQ by ignoring tryhard suggestions and playing an Iksar trio: the OP

Nobody thinks you are cool for calling other people autistic, or just saying stuff in an assertive manner. Please keep this in RnF. You aren't capable of being helpful it seems. You should play the game more before just saying things.

I always find it strange when people use the word "redundant" when talking about a Shaman/Enchanter combo. People are happy with running Enchanter/Enchanter, which is pure redundancy, but they are fine with it. It is a great duo. Clearly "redundant" is not a negative term, simply a fuzzy term people think sound good, without actually thinking. Apparently you can't have two DPS classes in a group, because it is "redundant" /sarcasm.

Lol well I am already playing a cleric in the other group we play in and one of the others is playing an enchanter. There's no sense in playing those 2 classes again. So when someone suggested the 3x iksar group we decided to give it a try. Had we not already been playing those 2 classes we would have most certainly gone with a ench/cleric.

I appreciate all the ideas. I think we are gonna try out the iksar shaman/monk/necro. We are also currently playing with a group of 5 and have a cleric/enc/pal/shaman/monk in that group but we can only get everyone together like 1 or 2 days a week for that one. So this will gives us something to play the rest of the time and hopefully be able to farm some things along the way.

Yeah that should be a really fun combo! Glad to hear we helped.

You certainly can, unless there's another group in the way and you train them. It's situational based on zone, camp, and player count.

1. ENC, ENC, CLE - high stress, high reward

2. ENC, NEC or SHA, CLE - less stress, slightly less high reward

3. NEC, SHA, CLE - low stress play, still good rewards

Any of these groups are doing things that solo ENCs and Shamans can't at the highest end.

More important than min maxing is to pick a class that you plan to play for the long haul.
