Why is my energy shield lowering when changing to these boots?

I am trying to figure out why my energy shield on my character sheet goes down from 738 to 542 when I swtitch from this:



to this:



The Rune Pace boots should be adding quite a bit of energy shield but instead it goes down. Why is this?

You lose dexterity, making some other piece of gear unuseable, thus losing es from that piece.

Ah okay. Well that sucks. It says I need 3 dexterity. Is there anyway to get a few dex without wasting a skill point or a craft mod?
Quality a piece of jewelry that has stats with attributes catalysts or find a jewel with dex

Your amulet isn't anything special, buy a dexterity amulet off of any vendor in town and use an essence or alchemy on it and hope for the best.

Keep in mind though, if you keep leveling up your gems that require DEX and you get too used to having +30 dex on your amulet it's going to be even harder in the future to fix your gear/tree. The most permanent way to fix your stats is to budget for them +/- 30 in your final skill tree, that way anything you still need can be 'fixed' pretty easily with just one piece of gear.

What do you mean by budgeting? Are you saying to allocate some points into dex on the tree now and then when I need the skill points, reallocate them and put the dex requirements onto a piece of gear?
Depending on what you need the dexterity for, you can vendor a gem + scouring orb for a -1 level to the gem. It should fix any dexterity requirements. If it’s for gear....replace the gear.

Since you're only level 73, put a point into a dex node for now. You'll be level 74 in 1-2 maps anyway so it's really a non-issue. Besides your build might even get more dex nodes making this entire conversation pointless.
