Well depending on how much you want to figure out yourself, I recommend getting Mids' Hero Designer if you don't already have it. This way you can play around with the different sets to see how they will affect everything.
I do have Mids and I use it all the time, I just never figured there were IO sets in it.
A noob is I.
Here's a little something I tried. Can someone please tell me if it even makes sense at all?
Would this cost me my firstborn to get?

Oh and btw, I'm not a fan of end crashes so I took unbreakable at 49 ONLY because I couldn't find anything else to pick. I don't like the fighting pool either.
Below is the build that my DB/Invuln scrapper is planning on finishing, it's a modified version of Nihiliis' Build. Obviously fit your attacks in where you want and change the pool powers to as you see fit. This is just an idea and I'm sure there are more qualified Invuln experts around here.
I didn't take Unstoppable simply because I don't like the crash. I'm sure there will be times that I will miss it, and say something like if only I had had unstoppable but I just hate the crash too much.

I'd take a minute to learn about IO's and set bonuses before I invested anything into a build. You can really break a build taking for a set bonus you don't really need while gimping your build. Figure out your goal (Tanking, Damage, etc.) and make sure it fits the role you play.
First, what is your goal for the IO set's? Are you looking for improved Regen, improved Recharge, Damage, Defense, Resistances, etc? My 50 Spines/WP, for example, went more towards maximum health and Regen bonuses.
Second, your slotting seems to be more towards getting a full set of 6, but you gain bonuses for sets once you get 2 slotted, so you may want to rethink 6 slotting Stamina and only one slotting Health (for example, 3 Numina's in Health gains 12% Regen and 2% to max health, versus 2% DMG Buff and 3% Defense buff).
You can play around and see how your bonuses can really stack up without taking full sets.
As you seem to be relatively new to Mid's my best advice would be to flick over to the "totals" tab, you'll see your Defense, Resistance and Recharge listed there.
I honestly can't remember the best Katana attack chain of the top of my head, but I do know it requires significant recharge.
You're /Inv, so you want to get Smash/Lethal Res and def up as high as possible.
There are not a lot of sets that enhance Resistance, and the numbers on those that do is low, so your best bet for upping your Resistance is Tough.
(like i said, you're /Inv, so if the final number isn't approx 70%, you've gone wrong somewhere)
The second step will be to enhance your Defense, CJ and Weave will help considerably here, and defense is a lot easier to get IO bonuses for, Kinetic Combat is a good option, only need 4 to get the extra 3.75% smash/lethal bonus, and that leaves 2 slots to frakenslot to get decent bonuses for the power itself.
(on this note, forget about the positional defenses, worry about your typed defenses, again this is because you are /Inv)
And then comes the recharge, Hasten is your best bet here, but a lot of sets offer the bonuses needed Crushing impact, Obliteration, Red Fortune, LotG.
Oh, and a quick note on Accuracy, pick up the Kismet unique, most ?Inv powers take it, and will solve most Accuracy woes
And once you've made all the trade-offs to squeeze all of that in, you'll still want Aid Self for AVs, Conserve Power for long Fights, Purples because you can, and well, you can see how it will become a tight build quick enough.
These are good places to start.

Thanks for the guides, I'll read that.
Personally, my damage, regen and resistances are fine to me, I don't really plan to solo AVs and all that big jazz. I'd like to plug my defense amd Psi hole as well as add a dash of end recovery on the side.
You are welcome of course but don't thank me. If you get some help out of the guide send a PM to the guy that wrote it and thank them. Guide writers rarely get feed back and when they do it's not always positive.
I know for sure that 2 of those folks still play. I'm not sure if Capn still does or not.

Oh wow, nice reading, thanks for the links!
Now it's easy to see just how deeply my build makes no sense at all!
I'll try to make a new one as things go, I'll post it here later on, thanks guys!
Hey guys,
My scrapper hit 47 yesterday, it'll soon be time to celebrate my first 50 ever, and that scrapper is at least 4 years old!
I'm going to try my hand at those infamous IOs but I'm a bit confused. Besides what I can find on WW, I'm having a bit of trouble understanding what sets are most adequate to me.
I'd like to know if there are some good guides/tutorials here, but I don't want to end up reading something that takes me by the hand, telling me what's a TO, DO, SO, what's a set, what are set bonuses etc. I already know that.
What I need is something like "So, you play a Kat/Inv scrapper? Here's how to determine what sets you should aim for."
That, or a build would work
Thanks! Looking forward to not be clueless anymore!
