Those aren't mutually concepts. The individual pieces give regen, but there is <b>no</b> set bonus. The lack of a set bonus often means, "why bother with making more than 1 piece?"

As for those foods, sure, if you've got the stock pile to where you can constantly make the best foods to outpace your use of it or just cheat a bunch in like the average youtuber talking about the subject seems to do.

As for the "try magic without the armor" bit, I did. Since the rested bonus does the same thing, it's not that big of a deal. Sure, they stack, but I can get the rested bonus with little effort without being bound to that armor set or pieces of it.

So, objectively, what's wrong with adding a set bonus for a set that lacks one and arguably needs it?
Moreover, why not make it a bonus that allows one to use at least some magic without having to make greater tier eitr foods?
