Probably the easiest win I've had, honestly, partly because I was swimming in consumables and partly because I got most of the kinks worked out on a previous unsuccessful run, which I posted a few days ago under the name "Ephel." (And largely because this is a melee/evasion noldo, but you know.)

Quirk suggested taking vengeance on my previous dump, so I tried that. I didn't really notice it until things bogged down in the throne room, I think because this build is pretty good at minimizing how often you get hit. One I got surrounded in the throne room, it seem to help a good deal. I wasn't paying attention to the combat rolls, but I was chewing through troll guards and serpents much faster than on the Ephel run with a fairly similar weapon (great spear of nargothrond vs. great spear of the vanyar).

I had a very fast ascent, less than 400 turns between leaving the throne room and leaving the gates, I think, thanks to a charged-up _revelations that somehow survived two balrogs wailing on it and another I found on the way up, plus excellent luck with the locations of up shafts.

This is a very fun build in general. Knock back, focused attack, and polearm mastery have obvious synergy, and adding controlled retreat means that you have potentially have three chances to knock away a normal speed enemy before it gets a swing at you. Adding listen means you can spot enemies coming down a hallway and be there at the door to stick them back when they try to leave.

I wasn't sold on impale at first, but I find I'm really liking it. The interactions it has with other mechanics are just visually and gameplay-wise really fun. Impale + knock back sends the farther enemy shooting away like some sort of troll guard newton's cradle, impale + flanking and impale + controlled retreat take some clever maneuvering to set up and are very satisfying to pull off, and impale + rage just stabs everything two ranks deep. I'm a fan.

I think Quirk mentioned that they wanted rout to be a good pick both for fear archers and shoot-the-runaways dabblers, and having played both now I feel like it is.

Awesome. I very much like the look of the build; with all its emphasis on position in fighting I think it affords a lot of room for skill. I'm also always a fan of Listen. Tempted to try taking a build like this for a run myself.

Were you using a shield at all at any point or did you just two-hand all the way?

Two-hand all the way, although I was briefly tempted by the kite shield of Hador. I think having those couple extra damage sides so things died a little bit faster was actually keeping me safer than the extra protection would have, although this is obviously already a relatively high-protection build.
