Nomad Gear Set

[DeadSockPuppet]

A lot of the initial comments I'm reading on 1.2 is that the DZ is now all but unplayable if you try and run solo.  I haven't tried it out myself, but if that is the case, does the Nomad set still have value?  The set is billed for lone wolves that want to prowl the DZ, but if you just get wrecked whenever you enter the DZ it doesn't seem like it's really worth it.    

Along the same lines, does anyone know how the full heal works when you have 4 pieces of the set equipped?  To my knowledge, I've never had the talent activate (nor am I sure the +50% scavenge or +20% health on kill have worked), but I don't typically play solo so I didn't know if you had to run completely solo or not for this to work.  So far these are the only set pieces I've gotten (3 drops, 1 blue print, 1 bought) so I'm still wearing them for the GS and because they have the highest armor ratings for the slots I've got them in.

The DZ is not even close to unplayable as long as you know what you're doing.  My routine is usually the same.  I farm the names in DZ01, get the daily wherever I can, and often just make quick runs to rack up exp.  It's a slow grind for a solo, but definitely possible.  Division tech runs are also pretty painless.  Hell, if you venture up to DZ06 you're bound to see me running my usual DT path...I'm the guy running by yelling "crapcrapcrapcrap!!!"  :15_yum:

I guess most folks are referring to extractions...but, honestly, those are about the same as ever.  Use a little strategy and you can get some good stuff out.  

As for the nomad stuff, dunno.  I've got a few pieces, but have been mostly building the Striker and Lone Star sets.  Maybe I'll give it a shot.

The scavenge bonus is ok, but the +20 health on kill (3 pieces)  is really nice.  I started working towards my final gear layout so I never checked the res talent for 4.  I'm going to end up not using nomad in my final layout so I'm not so concerned with the talent now.

I almost never run the DZ solo, my comments above were just relaying what I've heard and read.  The reason why I posted the thread was to see if anyone knew how the full heal worked and if anyone found any value in running a full set of nomad gear, was I missing something in my evaluation of the gear.
