Nataraja SC build help

[verax]

Hi there, being so new to the game, I was wondering if I could draw from some of your collective experiences.

I'm starting to learn Arco now and am trying to employ a Nataraja SC pretender strategy. I was cooking along pretty good Last night until about turn 33 when my Nata got swamped and ran out of endurance. I'm trying to figure out if I should go 4 swords, or maybe 2 swords and 2 shields, etc. I was trying 2 swords and a 2H spear Last night. (I liked the idea of a range 6 weap that would maybe help with some of the masses)

Anyone have any success stories with item loadouts, spells, and whatnot to make this guy work really well?

thanks.
