Grant Cover vs. One With The Shield
Quote:
Yes.
So, if I can only fit one of these into my build, which one should I take? GC will get me to the DDR cap (more or less), but survivability-wise is that better than having an oh crap power?

Machine guns debuff defense, and there are a LOT of machine guns in the game.
On a set that relies a lot on defense, keeping that defense there will go farther toward keeping you alive than a once every 4 minutes "Oh crap!" power.
Also worth noting: If you take One with the Shield instead, you will most often find yourself using it because your defense got debuffed into the dirt. So if the only time you ever use it would be a result of not taking the other power, wouldn't it make more sense to just take the other power instead?

Also don't forget that GC will give your allies more defense. You might benefit from it (Aside from DDR) but your teammates will love you.
One With the Shield makes an excellent mule power for holding a 3% defense IO or LOTG. Maybe you can fit both in your build. Could you post your build?
