Currently running SK / SHM / Bard Wondering what the best 3 dps would be to add in SOD and beyond? is it better to run melee groups or casters? worth keep the bard and adding ench double caster? or just 3 melee?
 
depends on what you want to do and like to use

some would say 3 mages, i would personally go for a rog, bst and a rng, now that mq2ranger is out
 
I keep coming back and searching over this exact topic.

Generally if you want to keep those three the consensus seems to be, first decide if you want to kill raid targets of as few expansions past as possible. If not, the next question is then melee or caster. 3 mages for caster since Mage pets get Bard and Shaman auras and can basically be a caster+melee group. For straight melee, Kaen's suggestion of Bst Rog Rng for melee is right there with usual suggestion. Ranger can be Zerker, Monk as well if you want.

SoD is a bit shy of when Shaman become even more gods, so their healing has some trouble keeping up supposedly. Usually I see it suggested that you have a cleric instead or as well until you gear up in an expansion and then once on solid ground, trade for the Shaman.

Almost always it is said to not run overlapped Shm/Enc or Enc/Brd. Several here do though cause we want to.

Upside to mischief ruleset is gearing should be relatively easy, which I'm guessing favors melee? If you aren't raiding though I'd lean even more toward casters.

TL;DR: If going melee, stick to bst +2 melee. If going caster 3 mages is super solid with brd sham auras.
 
It really depends on what your end goal is. Are you wanting to small man raid content? Grouping? Farm old content for Krono? Raid with a boxing guild?

I run War, Sha, Clr, Bard, Monk, and Zerker and have 2 grouped current T1 content. I am going to replaced my monk around VoA with a bst or necro.

Now, with UF around the corner you may want to keep to consider casters and one being a necro. Having ranged DPS will help with AOEs so they will require less heals. Having a necro to FD on a wipe will help with recovery.

Just my 2c

RNG, BST, NEC

best of all with your current EXP
 
Ty all for the replies my main goal is to 1 group older content / kill fast and get xp
 
Until shamans can really pump solo heals, id go Cleric or Dru as well.

Sk, Brd, Shm, (clr or dru), mnk, mnk

Or same thing but Mag, Mag.

Once you hit RoF and shamans get squal and at least the 2nd frenzied heal, you could drop your second healer for another dps
