You're going to hit the Scrapper Cap before you get to Tank levels.
That's true. I hadn't thought of that. I'd appreciate a build that can get me to the cap then.
It can be done, or at least close enough you won't notice the difference.
the below build sits at 70% resist and 38% Def to Smash/Lethal. With 6 foes in range on Invincibility it hits the softcap.
in fact, the only thing that might give it pause is the Psi hole.
It's a work in progress, and at current prices will be my third Billion Inf character, but can be made cheaper by slotting 2def/ & 1End IO into any of the powers that use Hamis and LotGs.
And, as it's a Work in progress, please, offer some critique.
(for instance, I'm thinking of dropping the Medicine pool in favor of CJ and SS, would this significantly lower survivability, or will Siphon Life and DP suffice?)
anyway, the build -->

I saw a build once on this board with nearly all typed def capped with 1 foe in invinc. The Problem was that he made a lot of sacrifice for that result (attack wasn't really sloted).
On the other hand it's kinda easy to have a build with 35%, or so, def in all typed position with 1 foe in iinvinc.
Or, if you want to focus more on S/L def, soft capping it but you will have a whole in F/C or E/N def.
Anyway for a global slotting : take weave, cj or hover. Add in a steadfast, 5 set of reactive armor (4 piece are enough) and add in some Kinetic combat.
Then play with either, aegis, mako, touch of death, scirocco, obliteration and blessing of the zephyr.
With this you will have a good basis.
Now for the medecine or not, with DM i think you could go without medecine, till siphon life is better on the healing part if you dedicate some good recharge in your buid. Top of that it deals really good dmg.
In a set without DM, medecine will be really appreciate when you got bad roll while fighting really hard target (like AV).
But if yo uarn't going to try to kill those really hard target, it's totally skippable. Just grab some regen (like 300%+) and you should be ok in 99% of the situations.
edit : here is my scrapper for another exemple :

Can someone help me out with an Invul. build that can get me as close to Tank levels as possible (without purples if possible)
Thanks
