Nomad Gear Talent??? Useless???

[TheDarkZone]

Indeed, I just meant on a higher level item that wouldn't make you sacrifice a slot to lower rolls to have it.

Gotchya.

And as for the Nomad Gear Set, just wait until Juggernaut comes out. Talk about OP. People are going to be impossible to take down with that 5% health on kill. </sarcasm>

This is still broken for me, what a waste.  Also the new high value target missions are so not fun at all - not trying to be a downer, but the waste of time vs. reward is not worth it, and the HVT missions are sooo grindy it is like they are trying to make them not fun.  it is like one team made the game, and now a new team is trying to ruin it post live.  btw- I have 5 nomad pieces and the 4th talent doesn't work 100% of the time, so there's that

The good news is that there are now enough options in The Division that if you do feel like the HVT missions just aren't your thing... you can do something else!  Between the options of the Dark Zone, Incursions, and HVT (plus technically Hard/Challenge Mode Daily Missions); there's quite a bit to do.

Never a good idea to run with more than 4 of a set equipped. Nomad especially, thanks to only one effective talent (health on kill). Once you make that junk disappear, those won't seem so grindy anymore...I just mow through them.

Part of the problem with the res talent not working on the Nomad set could be who's killing you.  I saw comments on Reddit that you only res if killed by NPCs.  I haven't had the chance to confirm/deny this, but I've had a 4 piece set of Nomad for like 2 weeks and I've never gotten the res to work.  I also don't know if it's limited to DZ or non-DZ or if it's supposed to work everywhere.

Is there any Gear set worth getting? Any combination sets? I have been using Nomad and Alpha build combo and still die to quick when up against Elites.

@Archie... well, that's a rather big question you asked and you'll get TONS of answers, everything from metas & min/max builds to Frankenstein sets that "just work" for someone.  Personally, I have 3 toons and they each have their own 2 builds they alternate between.  Depending on what I'm planing on doing determines which toon I run and which build.  

Here's a quick rundown of my builds and what I use them for:

Toon 1 - 

4pc Predator's Mark/rapid chest/savage gloves - PvE assault

4pc D3-FNC/rapid chest/resourceful pack - defense/support

Toon 2 -

4pc Tactician's Authority/vigorous chest/specialized pack - PvE support

HE/exotic build: Barrett's/tenacious mask/Shortbow's/specialized pack/Skulls MC/steadfast holster - assault/DPS

Toon 3 -

4pc Rrclaimer/rapid chest/specialized pack - healer/support

4pc Banshee/savage gloves/steadfast holster - DZ/PvP

4pc Predator's Mark/2pc High End (HE) - PvE assault

4pc D3-FNC/2pc HE - defense/support

Toon 2 -

4pc Tactician's Authority/2pc HE - PvE support

HE/Exotic - I'm still working on this build, both it's makeup and uses

Toon 3 -

4pc Rrclaimer/2pc HE - healer/support

4pc Banshee/2pc HE - DZ/PvP

So - what HE are you using?  I am currently trying to build out a D3 as a solo PvE.

If I remember right, I have a vigorous chest (for the overheal on my healing) and a resourceful (my healing heals my shield).  My D3-FNC build is designed to be a tank build, so I focused on healing myself and healing my shield.  I run an MP5 with attachments I don't usually use - loud muzzle break to draw agro and a laser sight to make hipfiring easier with the shield.  I have an M60 for croud control when I'm not running my shield.

I've updated my post from above to list what HE items I'm running with my sets and I've listed my HE/exotic build that I put together today.  Ive posited a pic and some more detail on my HE/exotic build in the Builds thread here:
