I don't even think it's them refusing to give in to requests for Riddle of Earth to be functional so much as it's trying to make Tackle Mastery less of a laughing stock for the playerbase. On release it literally had one functional tackle (Fire) one useless tackle (Wind) and one tackle that's outright detrimental to use (Earth lol knockback).

This of course, creates the separate problem where between Wind Tackle, Perfect Balance's CD reduction and whatever the proposed change to Monk that makes it easier to restore GL3 is, Riddle of Earth could just become another entirely useless skill on our hotbar.
