Although i don't have a DM/INvuln scraper, i do have a DM brute and an Invuln scrapper. i'd say the taunt built into invincibility and your PBAoE Dam+acc buff will make it a pretty good set. The only thing that lets Invuln down is the crappy resists to Fire/cold/both nrgs and the fact that, from range, it has absolutely no defence at all, unless you add some yourself with CJ or Stealth.
having said that,. I love DM on my btute, ned Nrg is one of the least resisted damage types in the game, and once you adjust to playing Invuln (jump into the middle, not bash on the first guy on the edge of the mob) it can be wonderful, especially with something else to buff your deence in some way.

Thanks for the prompt response.
In what sense doesn't invuln have no defence vs. range? I know it has absolutely no defense vs. psi but I thought that the defenses were damage reduction rather than defense.
Invuln, despite it's name, actually gets most of it's invulnerability from it's Defence. When you have invincibility running, every critter around you gives you a defence buff, making it very important that you surround yourself with bad guys. This defence aura only extends a few feet around you, so anyone outside that range doesn't add to your defence, making you much easier to hit. Yeah, you have resistances (very good ones to Smashing and Lethal), but as your other resists are auto, or inherent ones, the resistance they give isn't the best. I think I have Resist elements, single slotted with Dam Res and I don't have Resist Elements at all. Many scrappers (and possibly brutes) give them a miss and pick something else, sometimes aid self from the medecine pool instead of wasting 2 power picks and an extra 4 slots.

@Miss Chief
It now makes sense to me.
I was thinking of giving the medicine pool a miss, but it sounds like I'm going to need it. Thanks again.
Been lurking for a long time so thought I'd dip my toe in the water and ask all you helpfull people for some advice/inspiration.
I've recently come back to the game after a brief hiatus (fell to the dark side for a bit but came to my senses) and started a DM/Inv scrapper. What I'd really like to know is, is this combination worthwhile? Has anyone else tried this mix? What were your impressions?
