Agree with you. I reckon the Witchking had a 'smell sense' or instinct of sorts for the mega-Numenoreans and Boromir wasn't very Numenorean. Faramir might have had a chance.

But this hardly proves invulnerability in my opinion....
I'm still wondering about 'what' weapons could have harmed him and on what terms. I'm still also allowing for a 'psychological' or 'body-material' effect of his combatant/s as influential factors.
