Paladin, Ranger, Shadowknight team
 

Is it possible to make this work as a team?

Well of course its possible. Fear, snare, root, stun. It's in no way viable exp wise or time wise though.

Find an outdoor zone. Have ranger harmony > snare. SK fears, Paladin stuns, roots and patch heals as needed.

For a real meat grinding trio: HLF: Cleric, Rogue, War.

Ugh bummer - I was hoping we could exp together.

I think you might actually lose experience with those modifiers.

So we all have some money to twink -- and twinking a cleric is just not that fun IMO.

We're trying to make a melee based team work...but I'm open to any suggestions of any team not involving a cleric.

Monk, Bard, Rogue could be a fun, unconventional melee trio. Stuff would die fast enough that bard regen + Mend would be sufficient healing with the Monk and bard alternating tanking. Also forms a strong group core for dungeons, just add a healer.

since all 3 of these classes can solo to some degree i would imagine they could find something to xp on. it might actually be kinda fun

made me lol
