I was just wondering, what levels are the auras (and spells) of unique monsters? Im sure its supposed to be somewhere online where I can find it but I didnt have much luck. I need to know the levels of any auras that affect entire groups of monsters, as well as the level of the curses used by those casters in the CS (and sometimes A5). Is it always a set level or does it vary per act/monster?

Might (at monlvl/4), Holy Fire (at monlvl/2), Blessed Aim (at monlvl), Holy Freeze (at monlvl/2), Holy Shock (at monlvl/2), Conviction (at monlvl/4), and finally Fanaticism (at monlvl/4)

That doesnt help me a bit with the aura thing, except that auras become stronger later in the game. Im not sure how high the monlvl can go, but I assume it cant exceed a lv20 aura? Or can it?
the curse thing is loads more helpful to me, thank you :)
In Nightmare and Hell difficulty the monster level (mlvl) is derived from area level (alvl).
For normal monsters mlvl = alvl
For champions mlvl = alvl + 2
For boss monsters mlvl = alvl + 3
Monster levels for normal difficulty, all act bosses (Andariel, Duriel, Mephisto, Diablo and Baal) and also some other usually quest superuniques (Blood Raven, Griswold, Radament, Summoner, Izual and Nihlathak) can be found on arreat summit: http://classic.battle.net/diablo2exp/monsters/
The list of alvls can be found for example here: http://strategy.diabloii.net/news.php?id=551#Area%20Levels
So for example boss in Pits on hell difficulty will be mlvl = 88. If he'll be enchanted with conviction aura, the aura will be 88 / 4 = lvl 22.
Hope this helps.
lvl of monster auras are not correct at Arreat Summit.
Use our wiki: http://diablo2.diablowiki.net/Monster_modifier
It's: Might (at monlvl/6), Holy Fire (at monlvl/6), Blessed Aim (at monlvl/5), Holy Freeze (at monlvl/7), Holy Shock (at monlvl/8), Conviction (at monlvl/8), and finally Fanaticism (at monlvl/8).
lvl of monster auras are not correct at Arreat Summit.
Ah, knew there are some incorrect informations on AS, now i know one of them.
Arreat Summit gets updated from time to time and IMHO it's now not as incorrect as it was once. Unique monster bonuses page is the exception though.
