Forgive me if this turns into a debate over semantics, but that reads as if Sauron did not need the ring to rehouse. Are you speculating that, after the Numenor incident, the ring was needed to keep his hroa in ME after the Last Alliance defeat?

My point was that w/o the ring, Sauron would have been able to rehouse after Numenor - but only as a spirit of malice, akin to as he was in LOTR. Thus a physical struggle at the Last Alliance would have been impossible.
