How important is DDR?

I've been working on a FM/SD build, and have to chose between Grant Cover for the DDR bonus, or Stealth for concept.

Is the DDR from Grant Cover necessary to really shine in the end game? I'll be Def capped in all positions, but that means nothing if 2 gunners can shred my def in a couple of shots while I take out their Boss/LT's.

Thanks!

It depends.

If you plan to do insane stuff without insps, it's very, very important.

If you don't mind using insps when needed or stick to "normal" PvE, you can be fine without GC.

DDR is valuable. Picking up every bit that's possible isn't necessary, though. You can live without Grant Cover.

Having said that though, I'd find GC more useful than Stealth. If I wanted to be stealthy for concept reasons, I'd slot a Celerity or Unbounded Leap +stealth IO in Sprint, and then use that when I want to sneak around.
