SS/Invuln for Damage
First inclination would be to tell you to take hasten and get as much recharge as possible to double up Rage...
Second inclination... and this comes from someone who's big on tanks, grab a /inv scrapper and soft cap him. You'll get more damage that way.... include hasten and get as much recharge as possible there too.

Come show your resolve and fight my brute!
Tanks: Gauntlet, the streak breaker and you!

I just don't see this being worthwhile. You can probably get around +25% damage bonus from set IOs without too much effort, but likely at a sacrifice to survivability. There's also the issue that the platform that you are working with is less oriented toward damage.
Both Fire and Shield are better platforms for looking at a more offense-oriented tank. Fire gets a damage aura and fiery embrace for +DMG. Shield gets Shield Charge and Against All Odds to increase your damage output.
I just don't see invuln as being the ideal platform for damage. Actually, if you're patient, I'd remake your character as a brute and bring it blueside when going rogue hits. You'll still have decent survivability numbers (a bit less than your tank), but will have a dramatic boost to your offensive capability. That's probably what I'd do.
Thanks Tonality. I fully understand that it may not be worthwhile but I'm one of those people who go all out in the attempt. This time...this character is all about the concept.
I have a SS/WP Brute already but she is far FAR too evil to bring blueside once GR hits.
Thanks again.
Thanks to Rangle as well.
If Scrappers had SS I'd be a happy guy. I tried it with the MA punches but it just didn't work out.
I hope you do understand I wasn't trying to be snarky by any means. I've got a BS/Inv that will eventually be softcapped and he's pretty durable as it is and does quite reasonable damage too for a scrapper.
Beyond our prodding you to go with a different set of powers, put together a build that you're leaning towards. Are you looking to try and softcap you're Inv/SS? If so check out CMA's guilds to Inv. in the guide section.
When I said leverage hasten and recharge to get Rage up more often, it certainly will help. A full set of Guassian's in it will up your damage output and to hit by quite a bit. Getting LotG +recharge's are a very expensive way to add more recharge. Here's a list of sets that boost recharge that you might be able to leverage to help getting rage up more often. Don't forget the Law of 5. No more then 5 of any type of set/IO bonus.
Once you've looked at things a bit, post a build you're leaning towards and you'll get feedback to help you out.

I'd also like to give you a link here to a list of sets that add damage as well.

Thanks for the advice Rangle.
No I didn't think you were being snarky.
But you can be if you really want to.
So, I would really like to top out damage for a SS/Invuln Tank.
Any guides out there for this?
Or suggestions?
Or...anything?
Money is no object.
Thanks in advance.
