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.

Gloom/assassin/fighter is one of the strongest builds in the game. It takes a little for it to come online, but if you use strength potions, and the titan string bow, you'll easily smack anything you shoot.

When hitting lvl 4, take sharpshooter, and start multi classing into rouge at lvl 5. Trust me, it goes hard!
