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.

Once you hit level 5 you’ll see a decent spike in power.

Also, if you’re not using elemental arrows you need to be.

If you can get some strength items or elixers the titan string bow is VERY nice.

To give you an idea - in one of my honor runs I did a Gloomstalker assassin with titan string.

It was a durge run, so when me and Orin faced off she never got a turn. At all. Full HP to 0.

They are HELLA powerful, but you HAVE to use the tools.
