They even nerfed Shield
That was a bug-fix, not a nerf. The bug wasn’t even all that reliable, since it hardly ever went of with me, meaning I’ve been playing effectively with this change already.

This ^.
Though the shield is in a crappy place.
That “bug” fix, which has been around since day one, is a huge nerf to bunker guard that use shield. I could write a huge rant on why it was so important, there’s really almost no reason not to go Focus now. Shield was already a very niche weapon, and they just keep diminishing its use.
Heavens Rage
+1 Harbinger. Bug fix, but still a huge nerf. Shield is just so bad now.
Well maybe if we stop using it at all Anet might take a look at it and make it something worth while. I kinda doubt it though.

I think that might be the best course of action
We have a shield?
for there you have been and there you will long to return.

As I said before, the bug didn’t even work for me and the knockback alone can be worth it. The Shield remains in a bad place, but it isn’t as apocalyptic as people make it out to be.
Just because you didn’t know how to use it doesn’t mean it didnt get nerfed hard. Coming from a competitive support guardian shield is pretty much useless now. And it was already bad.
The shield wasn’t useless enough. That’s why they nerfed it.
It was a bug, but just made the shield even worse.

People were using it in the first place?
Actually yeah, it was a nerf. Here’s are the reasons why:
When you put the dome around it, nowhere does it say if you move the dome dissipates. Secondly, if you do move after you cast it outside of the area the dome protects, it doesn’t help. And lastly, you forgo the healing part of detonating the dome if you do move, so in essence it should stay within that area.
