I think many monks agree that if they're going to adjust RoE in light of how it is impacted by shields, many would just prefer that you get the GL refresh when you activate the ability and also possibly that earth's reply activates at that point as well. It seems silly that you go into riddle of earth when you're about to eat raid-wide damage, but don't get your bonus shield until after the damage has already gone out.
