Gandalf Vs. The Witch King

[The Only Real Estel]

Anyway, Sauron would not have to be as devastating without the Ring as you make out.

As I said, Sauron wouldn't be quite as powerful (he wouldn't be flinging twenty people a hundred yards with one swing) strength-wise, but there's no telling what his apperance would've done mentally to the army.

They were outnumbered enough as it is, & then Sauron actually comes out!!?? Half the army would probably fall on their faces, and there would be no way you'd ever get the rest of the army to coordinate an attack, it'd be half the army on the ground and have the army staring in a state of shock. I don't see how they could best him if Sauron is still powerful enough to knock the best warrior there around (Aragorn).

And I don't seem to remember to many people being keen to confront the WK either

So you think they'd be more keen to confront the guy who orders the Witch-King around?

Fact is, we just don't see enough of Sauron in the films

Which is why PJ decided to hype up the Witch-King's role. So he wouldn't have to make something up on the fly & have Sauron appear.
