Some enemies drop their armors so I guess those AL numbers are correct but how about those who never drop their armors? How to know their AL? Is there any enemies with AL 80 or higher?

I'm not really sure about this, But the ones that drop the armor peices are usually necros, rangers, mesmers. I can guesse that the warriors has stronger armor bc you are usually dealling less Dmg. Well I'm not really sure if i've seen a warrior drop armor. And who knows, Maybe some enemys has more then 5 armor peices or less then 5 armor peices.

You could always hit them with a spell (say, fireball) take the damage, find out how much damage you'd do to a monster of that level if they had 60 AL, then do the math. Might be a better way to do it, but it's a good place to start.

Aye... hit them with a spell and calculate from 60. A friend of mine made a little PHP Script to calculate damage values back to AL. But it sadly is not public so i can't post it, but about your question, there are actually enemies with more than 80 AL.

For example:


Code:
Bladed Aatxe

    * Class: Warrior
    * Lvl: 29
    * HP: 1200
    * Armor: 105
    * Skills:
          o Savage Slash
          o Riposte
          o Deadly Riposte
          o Gash
          o Sever Artery
The HP Value was calculated using Crystal Wave at 100 damage, doing a screenshot and calculating from the change on the HP Bar.

It would be good if ArenaNet releases details from each PvE enemies. They have all the information about them.

I know I'll be blasted for this, but they do have the Prima Guide with this info in it It seems fairly accurate on enemy armor, if not on anything else.

Mursaat bosses, although they drop 40~ish AL armors, are about 128~ AL, which is why they're so darn resistant.
