I got 45% defense smashing/lethal on an invulnerability tank with no toggles.
59% on both S/L and E/N. Good luck. All of your set bonus will have to be used for that, so say goodbye to any extra recharge. Even than It will probably be difficult.
I worked my Invulnerable brute to soft cap for both. Anything extra the league can usually provide you. Very rare for there to not be some type of shield, barrier, or maneuvers available.

I took my Katana/Invul to 59% S/L, assuming saturated Invincibility. Didn't really sacrifice any offense to do it, since my attack chain is fully 6-slotted. I have to use Flashing Steel instead of gapless GD/GC/SD/GC, but that also gets me more -Res procs, so I figure it's about a wash.|

It really depends I think on what your primary is (and thus what it requires for you to operate well) and your budget.
Some sets like Dual Blades don't need a whole lot of recharge to be effective so they will give you more leeway in getting your defenses high.
But with the proper budget, 59% can be attained with saturated Invincibility.
You got me looking at the build for my db/inv scrapper and I actually pulled off incarnate softcap for all but psi with some tweaks. Think I may have to respec

Currently working on:
Turtle Snapper - SD/MA/Ice Tanker
I'm posting this in the general discussions forum because it technically applies to both Brutes and Scrappers. Is it theoretically possible to attain 59% S/L/E/N defense with the Invulnerability secondary? In my head it seems like it is, but every time I try for it the sacrifices are insane and I don't even get there.
What's the highest you've gotten on your /Invuln?
