Invuln War Mace tank build improvement

[GuardianSaint]

So I have never fully planned and built in Mid's before.  I've always found a build that works for me on some forum and tweaked it if I felt the need.  I have not been able to find any framework for building my Invulnerability/War Mace tanker, however, so I thought I would see if anyone had some improvements to offer.  I took the framework for Invulnerability that Hyperstrike posted and then slotted up my War Mace attacks.  I went for set bonuses for the most part, but I don't have much experience with Invulnerability and so I am probably missing out on helpful bonuses while getting others that don't help at all.  I thought I should at least try to put something together before asking for help, so here is where I've put together so far.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Is Mace a bad pairing with Invulnerability?  Maybe that is why I can't seem to find any builds with that combination...

You're sitting at 120%+ resist to S/L and the cap is 90% so you may consider swapping out some S/L resist bonus to increase your E/NE resistance since Energy is very common in the end game.

 

Overall I'm not sure what you goal is, but if it's to build the sturdiest tanker you can then there are some good discussions in the Rad vs Invuln thread about how to dial in your invuln to be unkillable. 

[GuardianSaint]

Thanks, I'll look into finding some more E/NE resistance.  I've seen that thread about Rad vs Inv, but I'll take another look at it for inspiration.  I think I understand why people build so many Inv/SS tanks, as it is so easy to find a build for them.  Chasing after set bonuses trying to build a character is a lot of work.  I have a newfound respect for those that do it well.

I really like to split up the superior gauntleted fist ATO set into 2 sets of 3 for max e/n resistance.  I haven't taken a look at your build so not sure if it will work out for you, but it's an easy way to pick up 12% e/n if it does.

Josh, that thought had not occurred to me.  Thank you, I am certain I can make that work.

To be holistic, the build is quite similar regardless of the secondary, you just have to move the AoE sets to the corresponding power.

So I saw a guide by Call Me Awesome, pairing Invulnerability with Stone Melee.  Although the powers did not quite translate one-for-one, I think my translation is probably close enough to call decent (haha, Call Me Decent).  Anyways, this is what I came up with.  Please share any insight that you might offer, and thank you for your time.

I ended up splitting the two tanker ATO sets after I looked at that build.  It gets me the extra E/NE resist that Josh mentioned a few posts up.  I'm not sure why I didn't think to do it in the first place.  Anyway, here is a slightly updated build:

I'm pretty happy with the numbers as they stand.  I don't think it will ever be one of the "Tank Gods", but I think it should suit me when I want to team as a tanker quite well.  I'm looking forward to taking it for a spin when the toon finishes leveling up.  Thank you all for the advice.
