I was wondering what others think would be the next box toon I should create, I have a 75 Warrior, 75 SK, and a 75 Ranger, What would be the best to enter into this trio, a Bard, Beastlord, Mage? any input would be awesome.

Well you already have a rather weird trio going, so I'd say out of the choices you listed, go Beastlord to keep the weird theme going.

Personally, I run a pretty common team. 84 Warrior, 83 Ranger, 83 Cleric, 83 Enchanter, 83 Beastlord, and 83 Druid. I have a tank, puller/damage, healer, CC/damage, damager/pet damage/beasty goodness, and evac/back up heal/nuker. I have every corner covered.

When I see your team, I see 2 tanks and a puller. I imagine you probably have a cleric merc and 2 caster mercs. Personally, I think you need some crowd control. I would personally do a Bard or Mage. Don't get me wrong, I love my beastlord but I think your team needs a different approach. A bard can single pull and mez if things go south with the ranger. However, a mage's pet can off tank in the high end game. Maybe my beastlord is not appropriate geared or I'm lacking loads of pet AAs but my ranger can tank better than my beastlord's pet.

Here are some group set ups for you:
Bard, Warrior, SK, Ranger, Cleric Merc, Caster Merc.

or

Mage w/ pet, Warrior, SK, Ranger, Cleric Merc, and Caster Merc.

In the long run, its your decision but those are my suggestions.

Get rid of the warrior and make a shammy. No question about it.

I had a buddy who 3 boxed a ranger, shaman, and a cleric. Believe it or not, he did quite well for the gear he had (this was back in the PoP days). I can see an SK, Ranger, Shaman, and Mage being pretty unstoppable.

Its been awhile since I've played so my thoughts may be a bit outdated. I used to run a shammy and zerk, IMO shammy is essential in any setup. I always noticed that SKs are better at tanking since they can grab aggro fast and hold it, fast aggro is important so your shammy get get off slow right away. I like the way SKs pull with snares and FD. Anyway, if you are open to the idea, as stated before I would drop the warrior, and add shammy. This would leave you with a solid core of tank and healer. Again its been awhile so things may be different now but my shammy could do quite well as healer for most content. The ranger is good, great DPS, off heals, can tank in a pinch if geared well, and a few other goodies. As suggested before I think a mage would fit nicely. I like bards and had played 1 before but I guess i am not coordinated enough that I can box 1. I had 1 button macros set up but i preferred to have macro for each slot and manually run it. I just think too much of a bard's potential is lost without full attention.

My friend boxes a ENC DRU ROG I play a MAG with Tank and Healer Merc.

We farm named in Sanctum Somnium and did all the pre quests and progression missions ourselves (No Task Adds).

Any 3 box works these days if you get the right mercs to supplement and if you get all the correct AA tools on each character.
