Sorry I missed this, Phil. Knoahrik was principally an aesthetic choice, but it's ability is extremely handy for this low-health character. I think the best thing you can do to get worthwhile use of the mask is to try to preserve it's use for melee enemies. Unlike Avoid Death, or Mora's Boon (great ability for this character, btw), it's a constant effect, so if your health gets dangerously low more than once in a combat, the mask may activate more than once. But if an archer or mage is triggering it, the push back effect the mask has is wasted. Against melee opponents, it offers the perfect opening for an attack, and eliminates the need to heal.
