For any battlemage, the mask is highly effective. It's base armor (at the lowest level) is one less the highest piece of headwear (Kohnariik). For someone lvl45+, it is the highest armor rating of any heavy armor helm, and at any level is the highest armor rating for la ight amor helm. For anyone (especially on console) who, for whatever reason, can't get Kohnariik, Miraak is an excellent solution. e.g. I have a friend who can't get Krosis to arise from his sarcophagus, and therefore can't complete restore the dragon priest shrine. Even non-mages can foind use in its armor value alone.
