I use it... so many other people do too...

If you were to do it after the bonus energy, people would be getting a massive boost to their reserves, especially if they have a build centered around max energy and energy efficiency. If you were to debuff the shields before the mods take effect, people would easily undo the debuff. These helmets are supposed to make the user "suffer" for what they gain.
