Argh bad build
Another troll, seriously grow up.
You gotta be like 13 or something.
I have never have the chance to build all of these items so I was wondering if you could make one that will cost a little bit less
I made a shorter one with some important items, but I still think you should follow one of the other builds as far as you can.
To earn more gold you should kill a lot of minions.
As far as your masteries and build go, i agree for the most part. Though for a guide like this I would lay out the buy order a little better.
For example, you want to buy sheen way earlier, like level 6-8ish. (as soon as you have the gold to after level 6).
I tend to buy Boots of Swiftness on nidalee, because her movement speed is one of the things that makes her so great.
As far as your summoner spells, you should never play nidalee as "either damage or heals." The way nidalee is built, she is best when she is both. With this build, she has enough AP to do a ton of damage, and heal for a ton. There's no reason to have different summoner spells per if you "want to heal or want to dps." I personally always get ignite/exhaust on Nidalee.
Never, EVER get flash on Nidalee. It's pointless. Yes, like every other champion, it can get you out of a tight stop. But Nidalee has a built in flash, her leap. Boots of swiftness contributes to this. Everyone thinks Nidalee's passive is pointless, but it's an AMAZING get away ability in the jungle. You should be able to outrun any other champion, even Yi with his ult, if you're in the jungle and have boots of swiftness. So flash, for me, is a waste of a summoner ability.
I never have mana issues late game, I'd say if you're really have enough mana issues to constitute getting clarity, you should get some mana regen runes. So unless your team is comprised of ALL mana users, and you really really want to be supporty, i would not recommend clarity. The beautiful thing about Nidalee is she doesn't NEED mana, once she hits level 6 she's perfectly sustainable without mana. And with the CD on her heal as long as it is, Nidalee doesn't make a very viable "straight-support" champion.
From my own experience, both playing nidalee (a lot) and playing against her (both good and bad players) i've found it best to focus on getting ap and mana, by mid game you should be doing wreckage amounts of damage.
But aside from the summoner abilities and "supporty" build, the items and masteries are great :)
I see what you mean, but it is easier to support with taht support build, but you still have great damage.
What I mean is, if you don't have a supporter, and you need one, go for the support-build.
And yes, then sheen is good, but I don't personally prefer it.
And also one last thing, I always use bushes to run away or chase.
Edit: Tried a couple of games with the sheen, and in some ossacions it did help with the damage, so you're right, but the guinsoo's is great since it boosts ad, ap and as.
