How does defence work on monsters?

Is it only chance to hit, or does it affect damage inflicted aswell? Is the defence listed somewhere, or is it just peoples experience (and stating thte obvious) that makes you able to tell that a blue dragon has less def than a black dragon?

I ment monster's defence, not mine =) Should've said that, my bad.

Probably both, but that is just a guess I don't know. You should write jagex.

They will always send their only message they can send...: THEIR OMG SUPER OMG MEGA COOL AUTO-TYPED :oops:

CRAP

THAT HELPS NOBODY!!!

sorry for the word *crap* but it really express the feeling i have in my heart... :oops:

:

anyway, dont send anything to Jagex if you want something useful... I sent like 10 reports of bugs and stuff and they always sent me the same (!(!( thing!!! word by word...

I've never sent a mail or anything but cheat-reports to Jagex, but I know what you're talking about. That's why I'd like to not send one, it'll be a waste of time only..

makes it a lot harder to hit high with melee and range and even affects how much u hit with mage

Defense makes it harder for you to get hit. On the flipside, a higher lvled monster will most likely have higher defense, making THEM harder for YOU to hit..I don't know how Jagex's npc lvls work out. i suggest writing to them, they might be able to help you on that one.

I actually know for a fact it does both, i can hit higher on a weaker monster than say the kalphite queen, and if im melleing dragons i dont hit often...

I think the defense of monsters increases by the type of fighting you are using, the level, and so on. I'm sure Jagex wouldn't auto answer you on this question -.-

According to jagex, players dont 'miss' their target, so It would have to be no.2 - reduce the amount of damage done.

And there isnt a list

That makes sense..
