Party composition suggestions
So, I am going to play as Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer

And i taking Barbarian Karlach and Druid Halsin to my party, and i want to have Gale but i don't need wizzard so i would respec him, but what into?

Which fourth class would be best to complement this compositon? I am thinking about monk or paladin like semi dmg delear semi support. I don't want rouge though.

You kind of need someone capable of healing. Druid kind of can but he's a wildshape focused druid and can't cast heals while in shape.

You are looking at cleric>pal>bard prolly.

Thematically he still remains a caster at heart.
I believe Bard would make a great alternate choice.

Cleric or anything else that can focus on heals. The first areas are a bit forgiving, but it's going to be risky (and possibly frustrating) trying to go further with just potions.

Magical healing is over-rated and a waste of spell slots in combat.

- Healing someone who has more than 0 HP is a detriment to your Action economy.
- Enemies deal more damage than you can heal so it's rarely a net benefit

Healing is mainly used to pick up allies with 0 HP. A benefit to your Action Economy.
This makes Healing Word the only useful healing spell in-combat since it's a ranged Bonus Action. Healing potions can also be thrown as a Bonus Action and heal in an AoE circle. Healing Potions are also incredibly plentiful.

The other exceptions are:
Paladin - Lay On Hands
6th Level Spell - Heal

These two heal more damage with a single Action than enemies can dish out.

Out of Combat Healing spells are even less useful:
- A BG3 Short Rest heals half of your health, which you get two of
- Bards give the party a 3rd Short Rest
- Long Rests are also plentiful
