Mauler

Maulers are Demons. They're a species of the Blunderbore family of monsters.

Massive melee brawlers, Maulers are the largest normal type of monster in the game. They don't quite live up to their size, moving slowly and taking a lot of hits, but they can deal out quite a bit of punishment as well, and pack a stunning hit that is worse on mercenaries and minions than on characters.

The weakest Maulers in Hell difficulty are found on the level 1-2 of the Durance of Hate, while the strongest are found on the Pit of Acheron.

• All values are listed by difficulty level: Normal / Nightmare / Hell.

Locations

• Monsters in areas marked "Boss Only" will only appear as random bosses or champions.
• Monsters in areas marked "No Boss" will never appear as random bosses or champions.

Act 3:

• Durance of Hate 1-2

Statistics

• The TC/Rune drops listed are the highest Treasure Class/Rune Group a normal monster of that type can drop.
  • TC Champions and Bosses can sometimes drop from the next higher group.
  • The max TC/Rune possible may depend on which level a monster spawns in, and can be lower than the maximum. See the item calculators to ascertain precisely what a monster from a given area can drop.

Offense

Maulers are slow with the first hit and have a slow hit recovery, but can chain multiple hits in rapid succession if they get on a roll.

Maulers have a 15% chance of Crushing Blow in Nightmare and a 25% chance of Crushing Blow in Hell.

Maulers use Smite (skill level 1 in Normal, 4 in Nightmare, 8 in Hell).

Type	Melee Attack #1	Attack Rating #1	Melee Attack #2	Attack Rating #2	Chance of Smite
Durance of Hate Level 1	12-22 / 40-63 / 84-131	320 / 1188 / 3665	19-24 / 54-69 / 112-145	236 / 1080 / 3332	60% / 65% / 65%

Defenses

• Regen Rate tells what % of a monster's hit points are recovered per second. Standard is 1.2/sec.
• Blocking values are assigned to every monster in the game, but the ability is seldom enabled, so most monsters can not block (Hence the blocking % given on most Diablo II monster pages, including Blizzard's, is inaccurate.) When enabled, blocking tells what % of successful, blockable attacks will not damage the monster. Monsters need not carry a shield to block.
• Drain Effectiveness tells what % of a character's mana and life steal apply to that monster. 100 is all, 0 is none.
• Chill Effectiveness tells what % of a character's cold length applies to the monster. 100 is all, 0 is no freeze/chill at all.

Type	Defense	Blocking	Regen Rate	Drain Effectiveness	Chill Effectiveness
Durance of Hate Level 1	127 / 604 / 1292	--	2.4	100 / 100 / 100	50 / 40 / 33
Durance of Hate Level 2	127 / 604 / 1292	--	2.4	100 / 100 / 100	50 / 40 / 33
Pit of Acheron	-- / 662 / 1278	--	1.8	-- / 100 / 100	-- / 40 / 33

Resistances

• Resistances over 99% are listed as immunities and monsters will take no damage from that type of attack.
• Immunities can be "broken" by skills that lower resistance, if the value drops below 99%. See the Resistances page for more details.
