    Riddle of Earth skill description does not match functionality

    Current description:
    Grants Fists of Earth. Also grants Earth's Reply if damage is taken while active.
    Duration: 30s
    Additional Effect: Extends Greased Lightning duration to maximum
    Earth's Reply Bonus: Reduces Damage taken by 10%
    Duration: 30s
    Both Riddle of Earth and Earth's Reply are canceled if Fists of Earth ends.

    Now reading this I thought this was a great dual use skill, to either save my GL stacks or to mitigate damgage I am going to take ... posibly both if really (un)fortunate ... but that's not what happens.

    Now, the reality is different:
    Activating Riddle of Earth will NOT (re)set your Greased Lightning to maximum duration -only receiving Earth's Reply will do that.

    So which is wrong:
    - The skill description, which has the effects in the wrong order
    - The skill effect, for triggering the reset of GL at the wrong effect

    In the first case, this makes it a REALLY niche skill of very limited use, in the second it's a pretty decent skill covering two good use cases.
