Attack Rating for a level 1 player character is determined based on Dexterity and a class constant: Base Attack Rating = ( (Dexterity - 7) * 5) + Class constant [1] Class Amazon Assassin Barbarian Druid Necromancer Paladin Sorceress Constant 5 15 20 5 -10 20 -15 Dexterity 25 20 20 20 25 20 25 Attack Rating 95 80 85 70 80 85 75 Chance to hit displayed by character screen applies class constant a second time. Every additional point of Dexterity also results in +5 Attack Rating, although bonuses can also be gained from equipped items, and charms in inventory in Expansion games (although when two weapons are used, only that of the primary or attacking weapon is added; that of the other weapon is ignored).

value, 100% of the value for the relevant difficulty level and pet level is used. Summon Spirit Wolf passive bonus applies + Attack Rating, not +% Attack Rating displayed by skill windows. [6] Attack Rating of converted, mind blasted and Revived is determined using clvl when clvl < mlvl; otherwise, mlvl continues to be used. [7] Attack Rating of Reanimated Returned is the same as that of a normal Returned that would spawn in the same area and difficulty level. Monster Monster Attack Rating varies depending on difficulty level, monster level and monster type: Base Attack Rating = [MonLvl * MonStats/100] [8] MonLvl values for the relevant difficulty and monster level (including any Champion, Unique or minion bonus) [9] are modified by percentage values stored in the MonStats.txt file, which vary depending on monster type. Monster chance to hit displayed by character screen does not use level bonuses when calculating monster Attack Rating. [10] Monsters whose missile attacks require a hit check have base Attack Rating doubled; monster chance to hit displayed by character screen does not take this into account. [11] [12] Attack Rating increases by 1/16 (6.25%) with each additional player in Nightmare and Hell Ladder and Single Player games. Monster chance to hit displayed by character screen does not take this into account.
