I know the whole point of the program is to be able to create gear sets that are tailored to a specific goal, but what do you guys think are some sensible values for the Threat Scale and Mitigation scale? How much for an all round tanking set? How much for a stamina set? How much for an avoidance (i.e. brutallus) set? How much for a threat set?
I'm not really looking for exact values, just some points of comparison from the more experienced folks.

For Threat Scale, I've been using 10 to 20 for MT situations on new content. For my threat set, I use between 50 and 100, but you have to be careful to not make "dumb" decisions based solely on Rawr's recommendations. For example with my threat set, the top 6 rings with a threat scale of 100 are pure dps rings. I'm not going to give up both ring slots for the highest threat rings for most situations. Also with a high threat scale weapon rankings will favor dps style weapons a lot.
For Mitigation Scale, which is really avoidance and mitigation (including block and block value), I use the default of 3750 for most situations. If I need to reach a certain hp number and really just want to stack as much stamina and armor as possible, I'll move the Mitigation Scale down to 2500. I haven't found a good number I like for all/most gear slots for my avoidance set.
I'd love to hear any feedback you have. I plan to add a better way to set the scaling factors as well as give good default settings for situations (MT, threat set, avoidance set, all round tanking set, and so on).
