People always ask what is the best (or worst) defensive typings, but rarely do they say the with offensive typings

Contenders of god-like offensive STAB combos:
>Electric/Ice (a.k.a. BoltBeam)
>Rock/Ground (a.k.a. EdgeQuake)
>Water/Ice (and that's before Freeze-Dry)
>Fighting/Ghost
>Ice/Ground
>Ice/Fighting (wasted and untapped potential)
>Rock/Fighting
>Fighting/Flying
>Ground/Flying
>Ground/Fairy
>Electric/Fighting
>Steel/Fairy (arguably)
>Ghost/Fairy (also arguably)
>Poison/Ground

I’d say probably something like Ghost/Fairy?
You probably want to go for raw neutral hits, and ghost is currently one of the most spammable types with one resistance and one immunity; neither of which are particularly good.
Dark is hit by Fairy, leaving Normal/Fire, Normal/Poison, and Normal/Steel as the only options. The latter doesn’t exist, while the former two only have Pyroar and Grafaiai, neither of which are good.
This combo is a bit better than absolute perfect neutral coverage imo, as both types can mostly be spammed without worry of many hard counters. As opposed to something, like, Ghost/Fighting, which offers more entrances off a well predicated fighting attack.
Just my two cents
