I am trying this build after patch . It seems working ( it is for fun ) :
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vdAQJAqelUUhatYfXw+KQ+FLsFVYNcRvmYHNFPB4HWiBAA-TJRFABI8AA6Y/hzLDAwJAAA

The skill cd in editor is wrong, it is 20 secs for shield 4 and 24 for shield 5. It is not that bad . I think shield now is a little bit better . Not viable for esport but not that bad . I prefer pistol pistol since 2012 as gameplay , but shield traited now seems ok to me .

I haven’t been able to use rocket boots since they changed movement speed mods from working with it. It just feels so… slow now, like it’s hardly worth using as a movement skill.

Edit: I’d also like to advise nightmare runes over balth if you’re using wanderer’s. Your big burns are going to be cleansed before they can tick out most of the time, and you’re wasting some by going over the duration cap for burning. Nightmare gives you longer lasting cover condis, which makes your burns a little harder to cleanse, and it gives you some much needed condi defense on the transfer on elite use. Tormenting runes are also a good choice for the extra cover. I’d also recommend changing your sigils for more cover conditions: frailty and tormenting are both good choices. I also think geomancy is flat out superior to earth right now.

it was a build i put down in a minutes but thanks for the suggestions . The toolbet of rocket bost is quite good and also the combo f1+ rocket boot can be useful . My build was only a suggestion for people destroyed for the reduction of gear shield. It is a nerf, ok but for me it is not something that make core engi trash. Instead the use of traited shield is something new. Probably it will not be next esl setup but it is something people can try . Don’t be desperate
