In general it is a good build, there are only a few things I'd change and most of them are just matters of preference.
1: Hecatomb in Parry? I'd put that in Hack unless you use Parry more often than Hack. This only to give the Hecatomb proc more chances to deal the extra damage.
2: No Build Up? While it isn't a must have, I consider it something more than "nice to have" because it does help your spike damage and DPS. Lose either Hover or Afterburner for this and move the LotG into Parry.
3: I'd swap the Aegis for something else, F/C damage isn't very common and most of the time F/C attacks have a S/L component in them.
4: 3 slotting LotGs is a waste, you're at capped HP anyway with accolades and perma Dull Pain. I would also swap the fourth LotG from Weave into a Kismet +ToHit. 9% Acc <<<<< 6% ToHit.
I'm speaking from a Kat/Inv point of view, but as the powers are pretty much identical I don't think it really matters. You can check my guide for some of the builds I have there if you want to.

All good advice! Allow me to explain my reasoning.

I consider bs/inv a superb 'strong/strong' defense build. It is literally ridiculous how tough this is, and that's kind of the point. That said, I want to make it 'worth it' to spam parry like a wild man, and thus the hecatomb proc there. After all, it animates as fast as any BS attack and recharges way faster. So if you hit it every time it's up, you get more chances for the proc, AND get melee/lethal waaay over the iCap. |

It's naked damage bribery to keep your defenses up.

Flip a coin as to which you prefer.

As for the Kismet, with three Cyto's in Invincibility, it's above or close to the to-hit cap vs +4's with only one foe in range, and the chances to hit skyrocket in a crowd. I don't see much use for a Kismet except in the most extreme debuff situations, in which case the extra six percent is unlikely to make much difference.
Still, all good advice, and worth taking note of.
Did you have any specific goals for the build? I do not have a BS or Inv character but Build Up would be a power I would automatically take. Slotting 1 or 2 Achilles Heel would help with DPS also. S/L/E are the more common damage types in late game but I do like that it has some F/C defense, I usually build the same way. I vaguely remember helping someone with an /Inv build and getting defense to 45% in S/L/F/C/E/N but I probably added Maneuvers into the mix to get that.
Tossing this up, see what folks think.
