Great show this week, Jerry.

One comment that I did catch form Inside the monastery. When talking about the Earth Stance/Attack, Its mentioned that Strike of the Enduring does a static amount of Force damage. While I may be wrong, I do believe that it's actually Untyped. You won't see this number directly when attacking as its added right to your base damage. Not sure off hand if it was mentioned that critical's do acid damage with this attack. Its also unique in that its the only elemental attack to have extra critical damage.

Void is the line of attacks where force damage is used, and until Update 5, is an attack that is useless once you start actually leveling.

Also, if I can do some foreshadowing with my own hypothesis, Eladrin had confirmed in the Monk Pre puzzle thread that their plan is to have a Light Pre, a Dark Pre, and one that doesn't matter. With the addition of Void II, III, IV and Void Finishers, and the set bonus from Henshin Mystic giving a static +2/hit that the Henshin Pre will be playing off / enhancing the Void line even further.
