Not true.
Because they show DR for equal levels in the UI, it's pretty easy to converge on a formula. The formula they ended up with was:
Damage-Reduction = armor / ( armor + 85*level + 400 )
The poster didn't know this, and assumed a slightly different formula that is close:
Damage-Reduction = armor / ( armor + 100*level )
What we don't know is the factor of mlvl vs. clvl, which I would speculate is just clvl/mlvl with an if/then for mobs more than 3 levels above clvl that which are clearly treated very differently.
This, of course, assumes the UI is correct. If any of you were around in DiabloII times, you know there were several things that displayed one way in the UI, but actual game effects were different, most prominently the early bow bugs with prefixes and suffixes and a bug with Amazon's strafe skill.
