sime build advice pls on SS/invuln
You might wanna consider getting dull pain earlier, I got it at level 6 on my fire/invuln brute and it has ever since served as a lifesaver.
Might wanna consider respeccing out jab in later levels, you won't really need it in the long run.
maybe fit in another auto or two.
hey,
SS/INV is the father of all Smash! U'll be loving this guy :-)
I've written some comments bout my build here :

Hi, the build looks ok but as Bio Mass stated you need to get Dull Pain much earlier especially as it needs to be 6 slotted (3 recharge, 3 health). One way in which you could do it is to take Air Superiority instead of haymaker, take fly as a travel power (much more useful in CoV imho) and that will free up a space for Dull Pain at an earlier level.
SS/Inv is a great set for Brutes and I love playing mine, the first time I used KO Blow with a full fury bar gave me a grin factor of 10...persevere with it and once SO's and Stamina kick in you'll be having a ball
Good Luck
I agree with the comments about Dull Pain, your Resists pre-SO's are pretty weak and a well slotted DP is a great way to increase you survivability.
I would also take Jab as a great fury building combo with Brawl and then Haymaker at lvl 2 but drop Punch altogether. I think an attack chain of jab/brawl/jab/brawl/haymaker would be much more effective than jab/brawl/jab/punch.
In addition Haymaker when you have a suitable level of Fury will mean that you can one-shot even level mobs and take a big chunk out of Leui's - which is nice.
I'd switch stuff around so you get Dull Pain earlier.
I'd take hurdle instead of swift, as the extra bouncyness stacks with both CJ and SJ to make them rather good indeed.
Finally, I wouldn't bother with hasten, as I find it screws up my end management, and the double end crash of it and rage could be a toggle dropping killer. I'd probably replace it with Air Superiority, as it adds to your already very good knockdown control abilities.
Other than that, it's all spiffy.
Dead Calm's Defender Manifesto
I didn't get Dull Pain till L24 & I didn't suffer, keep stocked up on respites. The only difference to you is that I got air superiority and it makes a very good addition to your attack chain. Don't get hurdle over swift, the main thing about being a brute is keeping your fury bar up & that means getting from one bad guy to another asap...swift helps you with this. Finally I am L28 & still havent got any damage enhancements in my attacks, you don't need em till later, get one acc/end red/resh red in them & you'll be rocking & when you get rage, slap 3 rech red in it & that will be perma. I cannot believe how easilly I sail through mission, soloing +2 boss's, 2 at a time regularly with very little trouble and if anyone doubts me, they are welcome to come & watch me

Have to agree that perhaps hasten isn't a good plan, due to the endurance loss but hey, try it & see, you don't have to use rage all the time if you don't want to.
