personaly i would go for CoF, the -acc being the main thing (storm controllers love hurricane for the same reason 
)
For CoD, it does give res to immob, as to how strong it is, im not sure, or if im even right for that matter
CoD does resist immobilisation but it seems to me like its very low magnitude. I get immobilised a lot if I don't have Combat Jumping running alongside it.
thought it would be a low mag one, a bit like the WS verson, thats moslty what im going by when i comment about */DA, and my low level DM/Da brute
I don't think there's much point getting CoD for the immob resistance, you want acrobatics for knockback resistance and to get that you need Combat Jumping, which I think gives a higher mag resistance anyway.
I found CoF pretty useless so i respeced it out (never had it slotted though). With Death shroud they will attack you anyway so the fear wont help. I havent yet tried OG but I will once I get to 35.

God yes, the +Perception from CoD is incredible in PvP. Before the advent of Stalkers I could never not see anyone in the Arena.

So really, its exactly the same as Shadow Cloak for WS
Having abandonded my WS at level 8 due to Void stalkers teaming up with Vazhilok, I have no idea

Yes I know that in the the discription of shadow cloak it once said cloak of darkness. So exactly the same. Just copy, paste

I said there was no reason to get it for the immob resistance, not that you shouldn't get it at all

never said that btw :P
just saying, yknow 
anyway, i dont know for sure, but CoD alone wont see through hide, CoD + CM/Clarity WILL iirc, and and to see through hide+stealth, you would need CoD + 2x/3x CM/Clarity

just got 1 or two questions i'd like people opinions on with the Dark Armour power set. My scrapper is mainly goin to be a PvP build aswell.
main question is what would people recommend out of Cloak of Fear or Opressive Gloom. Now i've read thru many posts on the US boards and still havnt come to a decision about which to use. It seems pointless having both as they basically do the same thing.
things ive considered with each:
OG- apparently it drains hp's but its very minimal and can be countered by taking health. I've also heard that it needs less slots to be effective. Bad things ive heard about it include that it doesnt effect lts or bosses (would it actually work in PvP then?) and obviously when things are stunned they tend to wonder away. Also heard that it costs less end than CoF.
CoF. Again i've heard that against minnions its fine, and once its slotted (requires alot of slots to be effective) can keep them feared for a good amount of time. Can be a bit iffy vs lts or bosses (altho i've also heard that altho it may not fear them as long as it hits the -acc still applies to them), so again would this work in PvP. (i'm kat/da not dm/da so cant get fear effects to stack either).
Now I'm quite a lazy player in the sense that i will turn all my toggles on and just leave them runnin regardless, this includes death shroud. Now with the defender fearsome stare the feared enemy will only attack once it has been attacked, but i've also read on some fear powers that they will attack randomly, which is it for CoF? if i've got death shroud running are they still goin to be constantly attacking me? (at -acc of course)
so which is better? CoF or OG?
another question.. we all know that some power descriptions are out of date and i've just taken cloak of darkness. now in the description it says it also helps resist immob. is this still the case? or would it still be worth picking up combat jumping aswell?
