Just looking for some advice. This is the first build I've ever fully created by myself and I'm sure there are plenty of flaws. My goal with this build is to be able to take as much damage as I possibly can. Not really interested in damage as much as I am resistance and defense. Any input is welcomed! Thanks all!

1: Ignore Unstoppable.  It's simply a delayed death sentence.

2: You're over-slotted in your Resists and Defenses.  Yes, I know you're not interested in Damage.  But, by itself, Damage dealing is ALSO a form of defense (dead enemies can't hurt you...period).

 

3: You aren't taking into account your Alpha slot either.

Now, yes, for lower-level content, it's not relevant.  However, if you're running at 50, it's quite relevant.

 

Now take a look at my build.

YES, your Resistance numbers are marginally better (and demonstrably better for Tox/Psi).

However, you completely ignored several Defense aids (Steadfast Protection: Res/Def and Gladiator's Armor Unique).

As such, your Defense is more porous than what I've put up.

And making the enemy miss you is superior to damage amelioration (Resistance).

 

Also note that I achieved my numbers in roughly 39 slots.

You achieved your results in 51 slots.

 

"The Perfect Is The Enemy Of The Good"

 

In short, slotting for efficiency (maximum value per-slot) is generally a better idea than slotting for absolute maximum achievable value.

Def > resist > healing. But that has many qualifiers. I agree you do need the unique procs for *3 res and + 3 def    Invul has very good def debuff so good defenses are very supported on Invul

 

Now for the qualifiers.  Everything counts (only) in large amounts. Take a standard Invul brute with no sets. Take one small purple insp and jump into a huge ugly mob. The purp helped a little. Take 4 purps 1st.  It is way better than 4xthe effect.  Same with resist 80% + resists are way way better than 4x 20% resists. 

 

And healing.  I am currently on a dark armor that has two heals that cycle near constant. One can fill the whole bar.  He needs it he is squishy as a sponge.

 

I think unstoppable is a great power but you have to memorize the game enough so that you know what is going to happen in theee minutes and have a plan for surviving it. Otherwise it is just a delayed death sentence. Fun but short

 

Enjoy the bruting

I prefer a better steady-state build than relying on god-modes with suicidal crashes.
