Currently I am playing a SK, just reached 110. I box him with a 110 chanter. Would it be good idea to add a shaman to the mix for the extra heals/suitability/buffs? Or would I get more out of a DPS class.
After talking to a few people in game, it seems bard is the way to go. Are there any good bard playing guides out there. Most i know is /melody. I take it epic is a must have?

She's been too prolific, but perhaps she or someone else will point it out. I did find this from 2016: https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/melodies.232369/ Also, anything by Nniki, especially on pulling if it interests you.
sk/enc/brd would be a mediocre box team, as would sk/enc/sha. Both would have a lot of overlapping utility and not enough DPS. Better options would include: sk/enc/wiz sk/enc/mag sk/enc/dru You'll want a class that can reap maximum benefit from your enchanter, which a bard won't. The bard, in turn, won't help the enchanter much.
Thanks for the response Tucoh. I was thinking of dropping the enchanter for a bard, adding a shaman. I still think it might be a little low on the DPS side.
I run SK/Monk/Bard and it's a bunch of fun. I'm pretty sure Tucoh said somewhere around here that tank/dps/bard works in most any combo.
