Hi, I am trying to find the defense numbers for monsters in hell

I have found some useful resources here
http://d2tomb.com/monsters.shtml
https://www.gamefaqs.com/pc/197113-diablo-ii/faqs/8810
http://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=17219980

Am I safe to assume the accuracy of the %chance to hit on the character screen to solve for Monster defense in this equation?
Chance to Hit: 100 * AR / (AR + DR) * 2 * alvl / (alvl + dlvl)
where AR = Attack Rating of Attacker; DR = Defense Rating of Defender; alvl = Level of Attacker; dlvl = Level of Defender.

So for example Hell Diablo solving for DR to calculate diablo's defense in hell

11% chance to hit = 100* 260/ (260+DR) * 2 * 84 / ( 84+90)

DR= ~2100

The number listed on arreat summit for expansion diablo says he has 2534 defense

can someone check my math please, or confirm any of this?

Monster's levels :

Equation for chance-to-hit is correct.

Given that equation :
11% cth -> defense = 2022
but see how a truncated value has a great impact on the result :
10% cth -> 2250
12% cth -> 1832
and, unfortunately, displayed chance-to-hit is likely to be uncorrect...

From MonLvl.txt :
Level 90 :
AC(H) = 1478
L-AC(H) = 1739

From MonStats.txt :
diablo, AC(H) = 140

Non-ladder games : 1478 * 140% = 2069 defense
Ladder/SP games : 1739 * 140% = 2434 defense

Your math is fine and so is the formula. :) But i'm not quite sure about AS and that 2534 def.

Where did you find MonLvl.txt? I just installed another copy of D2 from battle.net and can't find this file in d2exp.mpq nor in d2data.mpq. And Diablo's armor class in hell is 543 according to my MonStats.txt. :/

Have a look into patch_d2.mpq
Informations here overwrite those stored in d2data and d2exp.

Hmm... That was the first place i was looking for actually, but here's what i got ->



Guess Bliz is trying to "hide" their excel/txt stuff or smth, half of those .xxx-files are actually .txt-files. Still couldn't find MonLvl.txt amongst these, but that's probably just me.
