Invulnerability
Overview
Invulnerability is a standard power set that is a primary set for Tankers and a secondary set for Brutes and Scrappers.

Historical
- This set has been in the game for Scrappers and Tankers since Issue 0.
- Unyielding was originally called Unyielding Stance and caused the character to be immobilized, a true stance. This was changed in Issue 3.
- Unyielding had -Defense which was compensated for by Invincibility's +Defense, and countered by Tough Hide.
- This set was included with the original release of Brutes in Issue 6.
- Invulnerability was adjusted in Issue 13:
- Unyielding - Removed Defense Debuff
- Invincibility - Reduce per target Defense Buff to offset the change from Unyielding, no net gain
- Resist Physical Damage - Add 25% Defense Debuff Resistance
- Tough Hide - Add 25% Defense Debuff Resistance
- Resist Energies - Add 25% Endurance Debuff Resistance.
- Resist Elements - Add 20% Movement Slow Resistance
