Nidalee Guide
Just some idea-crafting.
Second, Tiamat just isn't a great idea. She already has a lot of splash in Cougar form from W and E, and she can spam those like crazy. A little more AP can help her farm more, and the expense is just unreasonable considering that it's a purely AD item.
Cougar form - jumping into team fights is instant death for you, if they're any good at all, especially with your zero-survival build. Human skills are much better. Then you have some patience, maybe get the blue buff to spam spears and traps, and go for Cougar form if you catch one you can finish off in relative safety. Also, those spears hurt a lot. If someone lands a stun and you follow up with a long-distance spear hit, you'll see. The damage bonus for landing a long shot is no joke. I also can't believe that your solution to "enemy threatening your health bar?" is "heal yourself and keep on fighting in cougar form". Usually you should heal yourself if there's time for that and if you're already human, and then you *run away* as a cougar, taking a hop with W *away* from the enemies every time it's off CD. Before long, you should be far enough away and your human CDs should be over, so you can heal and spear.
Sorry Tailgating, but I really have to say this. Did you read the guide, like, at all? Because surely if you did, you would have realized the Lich Bane featured in the build, and how the entirety of the build focuses around the 1200 - 1500 damage mark that's achievable by proc'ing the Lichbane, which coincidentally deals attack damage, not ability power.
Mind you, you have a point with the 'W' skill. Lately, I've been getting W first and E second, and then keeping the enemy out of the brush, as well as my minion killing capacity maxed with the attack speed buff.
And, a Doran's? I, personally, am against lifesteal as a beginning item. They require you to attack things to heal, which in turn means spending more time on hitting minions and over extending, and less time last hitting just for the gold. Imo, Nidalee should start off with items that will maximize her original character play style, and make sure that she is out on the fields for as long as possible before needing to come back into base. This means that I usually start off with a Sapphire Crystal for the extra mana to heal myself and constantly spam spears and bushwacks, and an HP pot, so that I can take the golem at lvl 3, which means prolonged spell spammage. This has proved to be rather effective, as by the time I go back to base, I have enough to finish off my Sheen, buy a Tear of the Goddess, and usually a ward and an elixir.
I haven't really been playing Nidalee all that much, and so my experience may not be the best, but I have had some very nice games (30/8/12), and can assure you, that this build maximizes her potential to deal damage in both ability power and attack damage aspects (Which is the most effective way to deal damage, since it is hardest to spread armor types rather than to focus it).
PM me in game one time, i'm on quite often.
i thought you would get the fact that i meant spear doesn't hit that hard at the beginning. Kind of obvious since i said i start with w-e-q instead of q. Second of all, i meant doran's ring not sword. Why would i suggest doran's sword on an ap char? Doran's ring provides mana and mana regeneration and that means you would be able to use w every time it's up without losing any mana, and let's not mention heal.
and you say in the build that you start with a long sword instead of sapphire crystal, which contradicts w/ your statement that Nidalee should start off with items that will maximize her original character play style since ap gives more power in her skills.
First of all, i also go W-E-Q because Q does little damage anyway and bushwhack is amazing for lane control. Just pop one in the bush and when they try to come around the bush you will get them instead. Also i found that doran's ring works pretty good in the beginning because without it, i can't harass as much... and wouldn't magic resist penetration work better than armor penetration for the late game spearing because only one of nidalee's skill is ad.

Hmm well, i like the early you cant jump me in the bush, and i think before level 3 Q wastes to much mana, just my opinion, but well yep. And also, i like to get a warmogs last sometimes, so i can jump into a fight with 3k hp and enough DMG, maybe thats just me though, and i rarely get my final item.
A warmogs? Now that'd be interesting. I wonder how fun it'd be to rush it? haha :D

I think i know what im doing next game!
i like your guide
Haha thanks. I've been testing these ideas out a lot lately, and I might have to improve on them though o.0

Haha thanks man :D
But why W-E-Q? Is Bushwhack all that useful early on? I mean, it's nice to scout out and stuff, but saving Q for last means that you lack a lot of harrassment potential...?
But yeah, I'm not so sure about Mejai's. I mean personally, whenever I get 20 stacks of the Soulstealer, I always get focused like mad, and no CC remover can save me. I reckon playing her snowball free is a good option, but I just added the Mejai's in there for a different playstyle.
