1. I believe if hauberk was changed to 1500 and nimoth to 1750 you would simply see people buy hauberk before nimoth. If both items were either 1500 or 1750 you would see a change in B.O's and a determination of which item is better could be made. Now on that note if I was playing my ooze beast and both nimoth and hauberk were 1500, I would buy hauberk first because it provides more hp and I already have scail mail so I have some armor.

2. Vlemish Facegaurd

3. 1 elixir of rejuvenation because its has far more uses than footman's

4. Minion build so I would have to go with maxing damage than hp with that item list.

• Gloves of Fell-Darkur
• Platemail
• Iron Walkers
• Twig
• Theurgist's cap

Was gunna reply, but it would be pretty much a mirror of what Cow said.

Other then with UB, I don't really like Heuberk, usually I'll have banded armor until I can switch it for Journeyman treads.  Not sure know if I even want it at 1500.  Maybe as Ereb I'd switch banded for Heuberk earlier if the price were dropped.  The minion build questions I'm not really qualified to answer.
