Ever been really frustrated by the fact that Aragorn can't block attacks very well when he has two swords equipped (especially against archers who run away)?

If you're at or above Level 5 and know Sweep, this can help. If you're in the midst of a group of enemies, Sweep not only clears room around you, but it also makes Aragorn temporarily invincible for the duration of the attack. This is most noticeable if you're fighting archers.

Try this: Find any Orc archer and wait for it to shoot. Use Sweep before the arrow hits you. See how the arrow passes right "through" him? This is especially helpful in boss battles, especially if you're level 9 and fighting the Moria Troll.

There's another bonus to Sweep: Like Legolas's Overdraw arrows and Aragorn's own Sword Throw, every moment that Aragorn's swords are in contact with an enemy, they hit and make either an injure or an armor-block sound. Try it against the Moria Troll in Balin's Tomb, and you'll hear multiple hitting/armor-clang sounds as the blades rip through it (not nearly as many as the Sword Throw but they're still there).

Not only do you do large damage to the troll, but neither it nor the surrounding Orcs can hit you for most of your brief attack!

Use this tip especially if you're very low on health and surrounded by archers or strong enemies. Sweep can be invaluable if you get good enough with it.
