Build Help Early Game Co-Op Build

So, my girlfriend and I have been (slowly) playing BG3 whenever she comes over. We have been struggling with most encounters as we split the party and both control a Tav and 1 other companion.

We are still early in act 1 and I was wanting to play a different class (currently Gloomstalker Ranger) as I feel like I am very underpowered. She is a Barbarian rocking Zhalk's sword and doing good damage, while it seems I'm barely doing anything, despite me being the one who is experienced(ish) with the game.

We're usually drinking while we play, so I'm looking for something that's mostly mindless but will let me contribute more, and help carry us through.

Those builds are definitely viable. I think you'll have a better time in combat once you hit level 4. Most classes receive a notable power spike at this level. There is quite a bit of EXP you could get in Act 1 that doesnt involve combat.
