Save the frustration and don't do it.
Don't listen to the fanboys. Nor the defense of it.
It makes no sense and yes, I tried it myself before giving up.
If you actually gave two shits about the story, you probably need to play it in single player.

So why do you co-op?
Just for fun, I guess.
The whole multiplayer is a mess. Especially when both players enters combat at two different times. And coordinating buff in real time is difficult due to the short time the buffs last in real time.

TBH, I wouldn't recommend co-op at all.
When the deveoper argued that they made this game for co-op first, I want to believe it. However, I lost a faith after experiencing it.
