First of all, what really bothers me, is using armor pen runes for AP Nidalee. I feel like magic pen would be better overall in every situation. If you're not stacking AD you're not going to notice much of a difference in the arpen from her auto attacks for last hitting, and you don't really need help last hitting anyways, she's a good last hitter. You complain about spear not hitting hard early game? Take mpen runes, it will hit harder. I really see no reason for an AP nidalee to take arpen runes over mpen, and you know the only skill arpen will help is takedown right? Which isn't going to be worth sacrificing the mpen on Spear, Bushwhack, Swipe, and Pounce for.

Why don't you suggest Merc Treads for boots at all? Especially if the team has a lot of CC (which most good teams DO) they are going to save you more than Ninja Tabi. You even point out in your Pros/Cons section she is easily CC'd. You should at least suggest them.

Holy **** the picture of your jungle route makes me cry. The numbers are so hard to read in some places. Google Paint.net and download it. It is like a free less powerful Photoshop. If you're going to use Microsoft Paint at least use the text function to write the letters? :P

Also in the jungling section, I think you're missing some words? "Nidalee can easily go in and out with her innate." is confusing me. Oh, I figured it out. You call them innate's instead of passives. I thought this was really confusing wording, you should probably find out what LoL officially refers to them as and call them that because "innate" isn't something I hear a lot to describe them.

I really love the wall jumping section though. For a long time I didn't even know Nidalee could jump walls at all so I think this will be very helpful for new and old players.

Also with your build having no mpen items, and no mpen marks (at least since you don't play with them other people probably aren't if they are following your build) your late game damage is going to suffer tremendously once they start building magic resist. I know you're used to spearing noobs that are squishy and don't build health (and don't even know to go back when they're low and you're poking, yes I watch it happen plenty). I think you should consider a Void Staff, at least as a situational items (You have no situational items section? Does your build never really vary?) It would be great if they're trying to counter you by building MR.

Shouldn't you maybe get Mejai's right after guinsoo's? I know you shouldn't get it first item but 2nd to last item seems a little late. If you're doing good you should go ahead and buy it early. It gives you AP just like deathcap but is cheaper, and if you know you can get the kills, get it.

One thing I'd really like to see which is really important for your build is some of your favorite sniping spots for your spears. Pics of you aiming your spear would be great. I can sit and pose as a dumb dumb for you if you want. :P

Everything I didn't complain about is good.
