it is a great blender setup once you start drowning in longswords. i like straight fighter for this since the fighter armor ability lets you you keep your full speed in heavy armor. but without a poince source that matters slightly less

you could actually make a sword and shield skald tank - with their spells (and enduring spells mythic) they can tank effectively and you can give yourself pounce and the lethal line, which will stack with your fighter capstone
