Well, if your idea is to have some ID-killer Natty, I think you need her to have more attack punch (at least one weapon with high att and damage), and some sort of regen as well as reinvig would be nice too. If you play vanilla Dom2 a life-drain weapon is nearly a must also.

I don't think *any* lone creature can kill well-equipped IDs if equipped with an Armor of Virtue, you'll always be hit before finishing one.
True. I replaced the AoV with rainbow armour as soon as I got a random nature on a Celestial Master (my 26th - took quite a while).

I don't get why ppl think you need more damage when each hit does 25+ with AW. Anyway, leaving aside the weapons, I'd be interested to see what people would change on a nat:

rainbow armour (the displacement armour is twice the enc and gives no reinvig)
starshine skullcap (means the astral buffs give less fatigue, and there are no hats with reinvig)
flying boots (essential for strat mvmt - was going to go Anteus or Calius for combat)
burning pearl (essential vs. Abysia, though Krupp's bracers would have been nice)

the reason people said you need more damage is because it means by the time you do hit it wil be more than 25 dmg.

Amon Hotep could be nice in the Helmet department. It also is expensive. Very much so. Still, you might find some use for 50% fire resistance, 30 natural protection and Awe +5. Besides, it looks good. Crown of the Ivy King might be another option, and a much more reasonable one; it would give your Pretender some regeneration.

In the upscale department for armours, there is always the Robe of the Magi. It would work out much better than your current Rainbow Armour, but it is, of course, much more expensive (and finding the right mage could be troublesome, if you haven't been blood hunting).

The Stone Bird could help you with attacking, though I suspect its "lessen defence of the target" effect happens after your main weapons. That one aside, a Crystal Heart/Elixir of Life comes to mind, if you are concerned about your Pretender biting the dust; I know I like too much Immortality, the Armour of Virtue and things of the like. Well, live and let live and all that...

Theres better buffs then cold resistance, my point was that he was only using part of his script with those paths.
