With the following classes, what would be the ideal setup for a raid? For the most part I've been leaving them as their usual default groups, but I'm sure I'm not getting the most out of them doing that.

Tanks:
SK - 1
War - 1
Pal - 1

Healers:
Clr - 2
Shm - 2

DPS:
Mag - 3
Ber - 1
Bst - 2
Brd - 2
Enc - 1
Wiz - 1
Nec - 1


Current Default Groups:
Team 1: SK, Clr, Ber, Bst, Mag, Brd
Team 2: War, Clr, Shm, Enc, Mag, Bst
Team 3: Pal, Shm, Brd, Wiz, Mag, Nec
 
I 54 box.

Group 1 - Tank group
Warrior, Cleric, Cleric, Shaman, Pal, Bard
Group 2 - Backup Tank group
Warrior, Cleric, Shaman, PAL, SK, Bard
Group 3 - Offtank group
Pally, SK, SK, Cleric, Shaman, Bard
Group 4 -9 DPS groups
Shaman, Bard and other dps
Casters and Melee separated.
 
Part of this is you have 3 solo groups, but not raid groups. As my split and burds split points out, raids are meant (from EQ side) to not just be a bunch of solo groups. I have my 9 groups, and then my "raid" force, sometimes double stacking char on same account (i dont use enc, war or clr in groups, but they are needed for raids)
 
The raids are you trying to do make a big difference in your raid setup.
Modern Raids really do need a "Tank Group" WAR SK PAL CLR CLR BRD or WAR WAR SK PAL CLR CLR.
My Personal preference for tank group is:
SK
WAR
WAR
PAL
CLC
CLC

However, if your trying to do older raids at 125, then you dont really need to worry about tank groups.

TOL - SHEI is one that comes to mind that group makeup doesn't need to be raid style. Cure and CC is all that matters.
NOS - Spirit Fades - doesn't need a tank group
LS- Kanghammer you will probably struggle with 3 Groups...but One Solid group for Rufus, and Two grp for adds would be feasible i guess. Depending on the gear.

You cant just take 3 groups of sub par geared toons into LS and expect to win.

COV TS raid gear is about equivalent to group gear...so start gearing up from TOL onwards.
 
For my raid team I have more Clerics. I like to go with 4 clerics and at least 2 Shaman and 2 Druids 1 Enchanter and at least 4 Bards. Melee and Caster DPS separated.
