Bulwark Shield interacting weirdly with Trauma Staff after patch

Issue Description:

Bulwark Shield now blocks the AoE of Trauma Staff, but it seems to be entirely based on where the player is standing in relation to the shield. If I stand in front of the shield, it blocks the AoE, if I stand behind the Bulwark, opposite its shield, it does not. It does not matter where I aim the AoE, only where I am standing.

Steps to Reproduce:

Enter the Meat Grinder with a Trauma Staff equipped
Stand in front of the Bulwark
Blast him with the Trauma Staff AoE (doesn’t matter where you aim the blast)
Stand behind the Bulwark
Blast him again with the Trauma Staff AoE (again, doesn’t matter where you aim the blast)
Repeat until you are satisfied

Bulwark Takes Damage and knocked off his feet from a blast while standing behind him
