I am looking for 2 other toons to box with my monk, or warrior, can anyone help me out with some suggestions? I have never really played anythng but melee toons, My goal is to level them up together to 85. thanks for any help anyone can give me.
I 3 box with SK / Shammy / Chanter
Shamans usually fit with any other class pretty well. I would also recommend a wizard because they are easy to box and all you really have to worry about is nuking, snaring and maybe exodus once in a while. Add a cleric merc and two dps mercs and I don't see why you couldn't do most group content. That should allow for faster kills, buffs and transportation. That's just my thoughts though.
I would think about a druid instead of a wizard, because I think it would involve less widow tabbing. Grovers is very knowledgeable so a wizard for the massive damamge maybe better.
I would go with a warrior, chanter, wizzy combo. The monk may be tempting but in the long run you will need a real tanking class.
The chanter is the key though. I just recently added one to my boxing situation and I wonder why I didn't do it sooner. Life would have been so much easier. Not only can they mez tons of adds but they can paci for single mob pulls. They can haste the group and give the wizzy more mana (up to 5k more with aura's) along with mana regen. Their DPS is deplorable which is the only down side.
Wizzy's are pretty self straight forward. Nuk, nuk and more nuking. They have transport spells and that instant evac is a real life saver. Snaring also is a real plus. Their downside is they burn thru mana like crazy.

I would advise SK/wiz/shaman, too. Depending on which of my friends are offline it's something that I have been using quite a lot lately. I don't think a druid would be less tabbing than a wizard really, but more importantly, druids just can't compare to the damage output of a wizard.
On short UF group named fights where they hit their discs, a wizard with tower-level focii can pretty easily sustain 35k dps for a million damage. They definitely provide, by far, the highest boxed burst dps for the least amount of effort. With SK/sham/wiz, with the SK and shaman both in gear I've grouped and the wizard in tower level raid gear, there is nothing in underfoot that I have found that I can't easily box except for the occasional mob that spawns pets.
This is something I have been doing lately too, but, generally speaking, I would advise the shaman instead of an enchanter. Most content in SOD and UF is pullable with a shadowknight without too many problems, and the added heals will let you do much harder stuff.
edit: I'm silly, misread something in your post. In high level group content though especially in the context of boxing an SK definitely beats a warrior though.
