Looks like a pretty solid guide. Here are my suggestions:

(A) I recommend that you should max, E over Q in the beginning. E gives you a lot of necessary lane sustain against your toughest opponents. Also, Q is not a very reliable tool when it comes to trading because it can be missed (Human Form).

(B) Also, Sorc Shoes should come a bit earlier mainly for the magic penetration.

(Compliment) I like how for the runes you have AD which is very smart. AD Nidalee can win practically any lane so gives you an early game advantage.

Hope I helped, and good day to you!

Thanks for the response, Zhonya's is a fine item but rarely do I get much use out of it other than the AP. Lichbane is another great item on her, but I don't get sheen early enough to make use out of it and late game I often don't get close enough to get substantial use out of the bonus. The same is true for DFG, it has the stats that Nidalee uses, but I wouldn't ever get close enough to get major use out of the active. Purely from a stats standpoint; Morello's gives 5 less AP, but 5% more CDR and 12 Mp5 more than DFG thats excluding the actives because I don't plan on being in range to use them. So looking at purely stats i think Morello's is better than DFG

As far as RoA, I don't really like the item, I think 3100 for essentially health, mana, and AP is garbage, the Catalyst gives her needed health and sustain to deal with top lane bruisers, and since it naturally builds into RoA I get it if I can by 20 minutes.

Great build.

Although it varies from my AP Nid build, it still is very viable and I see it as a high level build.

Wouldn't Zhonyas, Lichbane, or DFG be better replacements then Morello's, and RoA

well first of all thanks for the response and such a wonderful compliment. I guess the main reason I choose to get boots2 later is because I do have the same movement speed as everyone else. And I'm quite used distancing myself as to not get caught, it's not always the case as some champions have hard engages or dashes, but it's more or less personal preference. I'd say for inexperienced player it's not necessarily bad to get boots2 first, but when you get more used to positioning yourself from the enemy then you don't necessarily need boots2 right away. Good question, I'll probably add a section about this in my guide

I think Ap Nidalee top is under appreciated. I would ask why you get boots so late in, your allowing players with boots 2 to have the same move speed as you in cougar form.
