My first success with an Adan. I played her pretty much like a Noldor bruiser, except I was way, way more carefuler in general.

Thoughts:

-Sprinting is a godsend. It almost strikes me as mandatory. Great for running down archers or NOPEing away from tough raukar.

-Almost no one else on the ladder seems to take Whirlwind Attack. This strikes me as odd. It's basically a free Herb of Rage if you're in an open area, and it synergizes well with Flanking and Dodging. (Does Charge proc with it? I didn't check.)

-The first few times, I had been keeping a shield and a one-handed weapon until I found a good two-hander, but this time I never used a shield at all unless I was getting mobbed by archers. The to-hit penalty and decreased damage weren't worth it to me this time, even in the early game.

-This was one of my few characters that did not take Inner Light.

Overall, I was quite lucky with artifact finds and only had a handful of really tough battles (running into Turkano, Vallach, and like ten other raukar was definitely one of those "take your hands off the keyboard and think" moments).

Great fun, might try a two-weapon fighter next time.

Good going, agree about whirlwind being good (I even like follow-through), but most people try to avoid getting surrounded for a reason :) Even with flanking I "flank away" attacking the first enemy of the column while retreating or do the amazing flank-charge-thing.

Well done!

I've been playing whirlwindy guys for a bit now, and I can only take that early if everything goes perfectly. It's really not worth it to take late, because below 700' there are not many dudes and you can use rage in the throne room. It's cute to take on the ascent.

I'm mostly looking at the abilities leading up to Whirlwind Attack, so the fact you won with it is beginning to make more sense. Flank-charge-followthrough-whirlwinding.
