I suggest streetfighter and shieldbearer of St. Elcga (paladin). It is a well rounded multiclass with both decent offense and good defense.
Doing this in my current game (potd) and it works pretty well:
Weapon: 1 hander and small shield
Pros
High defense thanks to paladin passives, being able withstand being flanked
At least 2 engagement (shield and shieldbearer subclass)
Accuracy bonus from aura, party support
Able to regulate the bloodied state thanks to self healing, good defense and decent armor wards against spike damage
Good damage and decent damage output when striking
Able to blind enemies making them flanked when no companion assisting
Cons
Dialogue restrictions to get the most out of paladin passives
Needs proper positioning from self to avoid the streetfighter malus
Lower damage when not attacking flanked target (no backstab)
