I'm nearing 50 with my SS/INV broot, and wondering about a few things. 
 

How much +rech is needed for perma Rage?
Does anyone find unstoppable unnecessary?
I've found Cross Punch to be helpful in my attack chain, replacing Punch as I level. And slotting a Force Feedback: Chance for +rech in it is a nice bonus. Is this still worthwhile in the endgame?

Finally, does anyone have a SS/Inv build I could take a look at? I assume I'm best off slotting for rech and positional defense ( and maybe psi to fill the P-hole)

You don't really need to slot any additional recharge for perma rage. People stack heavy recharge if they want to run stacked rage.

Unstoppable is pretty useless.

Cross punch is awesome. I use it in place of punch myself, and it is very much worthwhile if you can fit it in.

Is it worth it to take punch and kick for the bonus?

Unless you consider its utility as a mule...I take it and five slot it with Impervium Armor. 

 

In game, I wholeheartedly agree.

 

While my "NUTCRCKR" is a tank, he's pretty bulletproof, as well...
