- Measured Wrath = 112-137 defense
- Ars Dul'Mephistos = 340-383 defense
- Ars Al'Diabolos = 402-447 defense
- Ars Tor'Baalos = 323-367 defense
- Gheed's Wager = 127-167 defense
Long story long:
This concerns Measured Wrath, Ars Dul'Mephistos, Ars Al'Diabolos, Ars Tor'Baalos, and Gheed's Wager.
This doesn't concern Wraithstep (static +defense rating), and for some reason or another, Hellwarden's Will defense rating count is correct, unlike those above.
Preamble: Non-weapon uniques and set items with % enhanced defense rating (and Immortal King's Soul Cage because of the otherwise hidden 50% ED bonus from completing the set) follow a uniform formula for defense rating calculations:
The underlying base item rolls the max possible defense rating and adds +1 to it. Then the %ED affix applies and the resulting number is truncated to a whole number.
So, Measured Wrath Burnt Text = (48+1)*(1+[1,3 to 1,8]) = 112-137 defense rating.
diablo.io tooltip says 87-134, fault for min rating originating from not always applying the max possible defense and for max rating from not adding the +1.
Only through cube recipes like Recipe: Exceptional Version of Unique Armor or through Recipe: Elite Version of Unique Armor do uniques (and sets for set item recipes) roll in the whole range of base item's defense rating.
