Empress's Minions drop Lv.140 equips.

I'm more interested in the big orange "GUARD" that would appear every so often. Are some of the minions able to GUARD like Paladins can, or is the damage taken by players a different color now?

If it's the former, I think they should change that miss rate per level thing into a GUARD rate per level. I'd rather a strong enemy be able to guard against a weaker players attacks than have massive monsters nimbly dodging every attack slung at them.

I have noticed something, now that you mention it...

Only the damage received by the person making the video is purple... Everyone else is getting orange damage. Maybe it was a change to see your own damage better?

EDIT: FUN FACT. I'll let you figure out what other "person" is showing purple damage...
