Rekindling my love for Nidalee top. She is pure terror if she hits 6 before her opponent. That poor Renekton didn't know what had hit him :(
Need to work on my build though. I went:
Cloth Armor + 5 Health Potions
Warden's Mail
The Brutalizer
Boots
Black Cleaver
Phage
Frozen Mallet
Mercury's Treads
Randuin's Omen
Guardian Angel
Last Whisper
So for the first half of the game I was running around without any completed items. This is a problem I have with Nidalee and some other top laners. I like grabbing a Warden's Mail or Giant's Belt early, so I can trade better in lane, but I don't usually finish Randuin's Omen for quite a while after. Perhaps I should just rush a Cleaver for pure damage.
My friend recommended me a build that I've been using with Bruiser Nidalee almost exclusively.
Mercury Treads, Sunfire Cape, Iceborn Gauntlet, Black Cleaver core. Last Whisper isn't totally necessary if you've got Black Cleaver. Then I like to make up for the lack of MR and health with Runic Bulwark. Last item should be damage, Warmog's, or Guardian Angel.
Sunfire Cape: Syncs well with her cougar form's whole pouncing and 125 AA range thing. Possibly can be sold late game for a pure HP item.
Iceborn Gauntlet: Dem procs, dat slow.
