Hmmm.. it looks solid.

My only problem is that Aegis is an early game item, so it weens of in usefulness near mid/late game, and getting it so late almost seems like a waste.

Also I find the slow on Triforce to be enough. I think getting frozen mallet is a bit much, but I'll see when I try it out.

For now it's a +0, but I'll try a game or two and then rate it.

The Aegis, I haven't used enough to truly determine its usefulness, but I find that the fact that Frozen Mallet has a slow isn't the only reason I go for it. It also gives health and AD, which always helps, and it makes a guaranteed slow, whereas TF is a %chance to slow. The main reason that I get TF is for the enhancement to sheen's bonus, as well as extra health and AD. The slow is just a bonus, but it's not the main reason.

Well I tried it out and our team won. I went neutral (7/7 I think?) with over 20 assists in a 39 minute game. One of the problems was that I finally reached Aegis at the 38 minute mark, so I didn't really get to see it in action.

And I guess Frozen Mallet is good enough. The HP helped a lot, but once again the slow is kinda useless on it, because I'm apparently great at procing Triforce.

But once I think about it, there isn't a better replacement item, so frozen mallet is fine I guess.

My last note is that until you get frozen mallet, you are really squishy. Personally, the next time I try this out, I'm going to buy a Giant's Belt sooner. I would suggest putting a Giant's belt earlier, but that's just me. Also your magic resist is pretty low throughout most of the game. I mean, you can always buy the FoN earlier, but I wanted to say that.

*ahem* Anyways, we won, and I regret not stacking Leviathan, because once I started, I couldn't be stopped. +1 for you.

Yeah, the build is kinda geared against AD champs, but you can switch up the build order for AP champs. Perhaps Aegis might have more effect if it was purchased earlier, but the CDR absolutely can't be delayed. Perhaps if TF was delayed in favor of Aegis, that'd work, but Sheen would still come first because of how much that helps with SS last hitting.

Edited for an earlier Aegis, as well as getting FoN earlier.

I like it but honestly I think items like FoN are really situational. I honestly think BV is the best item in the MR category and the FoN is next to it, and since Nasus already has built-in lifesteal he won't need the life regen too much. But otherwise it's okay.

Well, Barn that's true and all, but i think he's assuming that you will buy appropriate defense items based on the opposing team :3 Or i sure hope he is xD.

Nice build though, i might try it out for myself :) +1!
I just finished my updated Nidalee build :D

Recently updated it. Completely cut out Aegis cause it wasn't that useful. To Barn: The FoN isn't for the regen, although since you have a nice chunk of HP FoN's passive will be cool. It's for the combination of movespeed and magic resist. It helps make you a lot better against mages and kiters.
