Now? Sure. During the classic era? No.

Or, to be more precise, to my knowledge no one has presented any evidence that they could (not even if you go further, into the Luclin era), and I haven't found any myself ... presumably because no one could during the classic era.

And again, we don't need to look to laggy internet connections to explain it: plain old mechanical differences (eg. channeling mechanics) offer all the explanation we need.

I suspect mobs aren’t tuned properly for atk/accuracy/ac. Player AC caps aren’t classic either. Generally we got good ‘best guess’ values, but in plane trash they feel real off. I remember even in PoP wearing ornate armour (about equivalent to ntov) fear stuff packed a hefty punch (i think the combat had been rework between classic and pop tho tbf).

There was a huge controversy on p1999 on whether AC worked at all. The overall system got tweaked but I don’t think individual mobs got rebalanced.
