The build works, I used to play AP Nid and moved on to hybrid before dropping her for another champ, recently picked her up again and AP just doesn't seem to work that well in a team, for me that is. You end up stuck mid/late game throwing spears poking away and yes chucking a few heals out, yet this requires blue buff or can't do this consistently, on top of that against a well played team that is confident in its initiations just stomps over you, leaving you been to squishy to do anything, throw one heal and chuck a spear, chance cougar form and aim for a squishy, save pounce for an escape if you like, yet you usually get instantly focused and shot down in a matter of second's. Dont get me wrong AP can work in a good setup and in a team that plays to your strengths (protects you, gives time for poke and takes advantage of your insane spear damage, uses your AS buff on heal etc) yet this usually isnt the case.
I was working on an AD build for awhile and came up with something similar to this, yet this build filled in some gaps. This build on Nidalee just rock's, its fun and different for me and allows for a much stronger aggressive play style which I personally favor, brings me back to how Nidalee used to feel when I played her as my first champion. Pop heal, spear, trap, cougar form E/Q combo pounce change back > spear to the ***, it works... spear may build from AP but it still does damage supported by lvling it first, I have finished many champions of with a well place spear and still do poke with it, it doesnt do as much insane damage but still takes a good 1/4 hp of a squishy and it also procs your sheen. People that are still hating on an AD Built Nid like this screaming AP is better need to realise that for some this build can work alot better, plus Iam guessing these are the people that assume straight away Iam AP and try to 1v1 me or focus me down expecting an easy kill and then get their face melted... still love getting underestimated, 2.5k Hp with 150+ Armor + Magic resist with a high mobility and flexible play style champ with a good burst to boot, sounds good to me!
Dude. You are a master of the written word. What you lack in adroitness I assure you remedy in syntax, diction but namely your exquisite use of the image. You must be familiar with the common saying, a picture is worth a thousand words? Your picture. Its just worth so much more. Thank you for the in depth and thoroughly colorful guide to Nidalee. My words fall short of the thanks that I wish to bestow upon you and so I bestow on you the greatest gift of thanks that I have to offer. An upvote.
