You have no idea.

Shaman + ench in the same grp is awesome. You have like all buffs and debuffs covered, you want the shammy to malo th enchanters charmpets. You got all debuffs and buffs, and awesome dps (charmed pet is top dps, and the shammy pet is not bad either). You consider a shaman a healer?

Also bard + enc is not that bad. Double mana regen ftw, the enchanter has a charmed pet and if you get an add, the bard charms it for a short duration. Good dps + cc.

In order of importance:

Cleric
Enchanter
Warrior
Monk
Rogue
Shaman

I went classic,
War, Cleric, Enc, Rogue, Wiz and my Shaman for buffs, slows and back up heals

This, Id also be willing to swap the wiz for a bard for more crazy awesomeness.

I should create a guild that only invites the following classes: Druid, Ranger, Paladin, Necromancer, Magician, and Wizard. The guild will be called "The Least Desirables" or "Unwanted", not sure, might have to put out a post for guild name suggestions.

How's that ever an optimal group? If you take two classes where half of their abilities overlap, that's half a wasted class. I never said it doesn't work, I said it'll never be the mechanically best setup. If you have an enchanter or a bard already, adding another of the opposite class means a lot of what they can do is already covered. Same thing with enchanter and shaman. Same thing if you have a cleric who doesn't run out of mana and then add a druid or shaman. You're better off adding an actual DPS class because there's no such thing as too much damage. You never need two mezzers or two slowers, you never need haste from two sources, any unstacking utility brought by more than one member of the group is generally wasted. If you already have an enchanter, a bard adds little more than mana song plus fleeting charm DPS. A shaman adds half-assed DPS and some +stat buffs. If you have a bard and a shaman, an enchanter isn't worth that much. You'd take that over a rogue or something else where every aspect of the class adds its full value to the group? You have no idea.

I'd choose warrior, enchanter, rogue, monk, necro or Mage, and cleric
