7. Aragorn Character Guide
2nd Tree:
Shield Offense (Level 2) - +1 Damage/2 levels, plus
chance of knockback. Increases shield block +1%/level.
- If you use a sword and shield combination, this skill
will prove very useful for your adventurer. Even dual
wielding sword users should get this skill because it
unlocks both Parry and Ferocity, both great skills.
Parry (Level 5) - Aragorn has 5% +1/level to parry enemy
blows, taking no damage.
- Parry is essential for dual wielding Aragorns (who have
no shield) but is good for every Aragorn. Put at least
one point in this ability because that 5% boost can save
your life.
Ferocity (Level 8) - Slain enemies give hit points to
Aragorn at 5% +1%/level of inflicted damage.
- This is good to at least put one point in. If you deal
massive amounts of damage, this could be a very useful
skill. If your Aragorn doesn't do much damage, then this
skill isn't too necessary, but at least one point is
recommened for the same reason that all Aragorn's should
have at least one point in Parry.

Playing strategies
------------------
When you play Aragorn, you have to choose between two
different fighting styles. The two styles are the sword
and shield wielders and the dual-wielders. Dual-wielders
are the type of people who like to deal lots of damage
in exchange for sustained damage. Shield users prefer
to do less damage but like to be protected. Neither is
necessarily superior, you will have to choose one for
your self.
Sword and Shields Aragorn
-------------------------
If you decide to play Aragorn with a single sword and a
shield, your primary concerns will be different than
someone who dual wields.
The skills that you should emphasise are Shield Offense,
Ferocity, and some active attacking skills. Here is a
sample Aragorn:
Aragorn's Skills (using 30 skill points):
Active-
Herbal Remedy (1)
Sword Throw (1)
Sweep (10) -------- Emphasize Sweep or Commanding Presence
Passive-
Dual Wield (1)
Numenorean Blood (3)
Shield Offense (10)
Parry (1)
Ferocity (5)
The stats that this Aragorn should concentrate on include
Strength and Accuracy. Defense doesn't have to be
increased much because of the shield, and health isn't
necessary but is good to increase at times. Courage isn't
necessary unless you are finding yourself without enough
spirit points to use your skills.
Dual-Wielding Aragorn
---------------------
A dual-wielding Aragorn does more damage than the shield
using one but can be more vunerable.
Emphasized skills should be dual wield, parry, and an
active attacking skill.
Example Dual-wielding Aragorn: (30 skill points)
Active:
Herbal Remedy (1)
Sword Throw (1)
Sweep (8) -------- Sweep or Commanding Presence
Passive:
Dual Wield (6)
Numenorean Blood (1)
Shield Bash (1)
Parry (6)
Ferocity (6)
Statistics that a dual-wielding Aragorn has to concentrate
on include Strength, Accuracy, and Defense. Defense is
very important for this Aragorn because he has no shield.
Courage and Health probably won't be necessary and should
not be raised too much.
