Basically, with the change of META, many things were lost, one of them. Nidalee top, then this guide is for you who wants to feel again the pleasure of such a thing, come on and let's go =D

Well, when the patch came out a lot of things just changed.This is good in some points, one of them? Nidalee can back to be that bruiser who everyone loves (jk,some people just hate that).
They added Dead Man's Plate and Sterak Gage
you'll understand what i'm saying

We all know the potential of chase from Nidalee jumping and jumping around with the passive
If we read the Iceborn Gauntlet description it says

"30 Ability Power, 60 Armor, 10 Cooldown Reduction, 500 Mana. UNIQUE Passive: Spellblade: After using an ability, your next basic attack deals bonus physical damage equal to 125% of your base attack damage to surrounding enemies and creates a field for 2 seconds that slows enemies inside by 30% (2 second cooldown)."
Well, with this we win 60 armor, 30 ap, 20%cdr + 500 mana such a good thing , plus the slow

Dead Man's Plate
"50 Armor, 600 Health. UNIQUE Passive: Dreadnought: You build Momentum stacks while moving, increasing movement speed by up to 60 at 100 stacks. Momentum quickly decays while under the effects of a stun, taunt, fear, silence, blind, polymorph, or immobilize effect, and slowly decays while slowed.

UNIQUE Passive - Crushing Blow: Basic attacks discharge all Momentum, dealing 1 bonus physical damage per 2 stacks. If 100 stacks are discharged, damage is doubled and the target is slowed by 75% decaying over 1 second "
Man, this thing give you 50 armor, 600 health , and you can have move speed,in fact you will have SLOW if the charge is up , this can combo with iceborn to chase

So, untill here we have 30 ap , 110 armor , 500 mana, slow per skill, 600 hp , but you know the interesting part?
This isn't over yet.

Sterak's Gage
"500 Health. Passive: +25% Base Attack Damage. UNIQUE Passive: Taking at least 400-1800 (based on level) damage within 5 seconds grants Primal Rage for 8 seconds. (45 second cooldown). Primal Rage causes your champion to gain increased size, +25% additional Base Attack Damage, and a rapidly decaying shield for 30% of your maximum Health."
More 500 health, 25% ad bonus , a good shield

You can be as tanky as nidalee that xpeke tried to snipe >;D

With that you can think "Holy moly I can tank 5 people" YES **********ER, YOU CAN !

But to be fair, that's not enough, what you think about more chase potential? Yep...
The new BLACK CLEAVER *****ES.

"40 Attack Damage, 20 Cooldown Reduction, 400 Health. UNIQUE Passive: Dealing physical damage to an enemy champion reduces their armor by 5% for 6 seconds. This effect stacks up to 6 times for a maximum of 30% armor reduction.
UNIQUE Passive: Rage - Dealing physical damage grants 20 movement speed for 2 seconds. Killing any unit or receiving an assist on a champion that has any amount of Black Cleaver armor shred grants 60 movement speed for 2 seconds instead."

Srsly, why'd you not pick nidalee?

I have nothing to say, just, if u played nidalee top bruiser, why'd you NOT pick again?
With this build we got plus 1500hp , 30 ap, 110 armor,500 mana,40 ad, 20% cdr
But why the items may combine together?
Well, you'll be tanky as hell , you gain move speed per hit plus the momentum thing , you gain slow, basicly u can split all your game, be tanky, escape from ganks, or just, tank the team fight for your team, you have armor, ap,movespeed,hp =]
And u can build some lifesteal item, it will be great, like bt or bork =]

Be evil and win the game >;D
