I have a lvl 50 Invuln/Fire Melee tank and would like to know why I can run Council and DE @ 4x8 with no trouble at all but instantly get stomped into the ground by groups like Longbow, Carnies and Arachnos when running tip missions at the same level. I went broke crafting this build (easily over a billion) and needless to say I'm extremely pissed.... Anyway, any help or advice as to what I'm doing wrong will be greatly appreciated. Here is the build...

Without seeing what difficulty or what how you play - it's important to know what type of opponents do what - for example - Carnies can do Psi damage which is Invul's big hole.

I've reposted your build and looked it over. You have nice sets but it's like you didnt have a goal in mind. For me - getting an Invul to the S/L cap with one critter in Invincibility was my primary goal then rounding out some of my DEF / RES values and improving my ability to tank.

I'm pretty sure this is my current build. It was pretty inexpensive - maybe 200 million? as I got lot of sets from merits.

Perhaps you can draw some ideas from there (move some slots around - etc - I'd definately keep the whole set of Oblits that you have for example.
