Lately, I tried Manamune and Lucky Pick, just looking for some sort of early-game synergy between Kitty Form and regular, and I've had moderate success. Nidalee has one of the best base autoattacks for a ranged champ (who doesn't have a passive based on it anyway), I might as well use it.

Before the nerf, I used to roll Amplifying Tome -> Sheen (for synergy with Fur-form and an extra follow-up attack from a Heal or Spear), but she needs to play more conservative with her mana now that her heal costs way too much so I can't spam the Sheen trigger anymore.

Now, I use Lucky Pick, but I'm considering changing that to Philosopher's Stone and going for Fiendish Codex since it's becoming abundantly clear to me that Nidalee will be relegated to Spear-Bot forever if Riot doesn't fix her. Still, I wanted to do some experiments to see if there was something I missed.

The only absolute constants I've been building since the nerf are Merc's Treads. I'm planning on trying early Rod of Ages soon to see if it will help at all.

I hate to say it, but Nidalee just sucks right now if you aren't chucking spears constantly.
