Well, the Claws portion will be similar, with probably the main or only difference being that Shockwave probably isn't for you. Super Reflexes and Regeneration both like breathing room, so hopping around the spawn launching a knockdown cone is a great idea. Invulnerability wants to be right in the middle of the spawn, not dancing around it. That's just theorycraft on my part, though, so if someone wants to pop in and suggest how useful Shockwave is to Invulnerability, it would be interesting to hear.

For Invulnerability, you'll probably want enough recharge for perma Dull Pain. And from your private message, I know you're also looking to solo Pylons, where DPS in the name of the game. And recharge is the name of the game for achieving high DPS here. I'm personally a fan (on paper anyway) of Follow Up -> Eviscerate -> Focus. It's not the highest DPS chain, but it's very close, and it triple stacks Follow Up on its cone AoE (on paper anyway). Sure, it costs a little extra endurance to spam a cone, but Claws can handle it. The recharge requirement is kind of extreme, though, at +274%. So if you go that route, it's a commitment, both from an influence sense (recharge is very expensive) and in the sense that it will dominate your build. You might not get other nice things, like soft-capped defense.

If you don't go for pure DPS, then my suggestion for Invulnerability is soft capping your typed defenses. For smashing and lethal, I'd want to do it ideally with only one enemy in range. I'd relax that requirement for fire/cold/energy/negative (FCEN), and not worry much about other types.

Since you're shooting for perma Dull Pain, you won't need many health bonuses. So your main goals for IOs are recharge and typed defense. You'll want the Fighting pool for Tough and Weave. Combat Jumping or Hover, whichever you prefer. Speed pool for Hasten. And probably Fitness unless you're going for one o' them new-fangled Physical Perfection only builds, but that's likely a tough row to hoe since you're going to need sustainable endurance to take down a Pylon.

I don't have any builds on me, and don't want to put one together (I have a build I need to put together for myself when I get around to actually figuring out a build). But hopefully someone can post something giving you an example of what you're shooting for.

Ah, and a big question, what sort of budget do you have? Putting together a build that can tear down pylons quickly AND survive giant piles of +4x8 enemies on a shoestring budget probably isn't happening, so you then get to make some decisions about what's important to you and what you can do without.

There are a good few guides on slotting Invuln (e.g. Call_Me_Awesome's and mine) and most probably good guides on Claws, too. I'd help you with a build, but I'm not an expert with Claws... Basically all I could offer is slotting advice on Invuln which can also be found in guides.

Claws/Inv seems a strong combo so good luck finding the info you need!

Werner for the budget unlimited prepared for how much this build is going to cost me.
And thanks DSorrow though the build won't open for me on mids.
