90 mana cost on a spell that deals between 230 + 0.65 and 575 + 1.625 damage? that actually is low. especially if you consider that most high impact spells have manacosts upwards from 110. there even is anivias q which has a whooping 160 mana cost. anyway, back on topic. her other spells have that mana cost because of the kind of spells they are. her e is a very strong burst heal with an as buff. im surprised it actually only costs 140 mana, but then again, increasing this cost would mostly nerf poor ad nidalee, who reaaally doesnt need a nerf anymore. as for her w, its a armor mr shred trep that also grants intel and is nearly impossible to see in bushes. it also needs a limiter. as for your rework i looked at it and ... you are "combating" her toxic parts? if anything they only got worse o.0. her q applying onhit effects and being faster and scaling with ad? her spear getting reduced mana cost and reduced cooldown onhit while having the same base cd at lvl 5? her autoattacks dealing damage per ap? her heal having significantly reduced mana cost while being significantly stronger (although only selftargetted)? her e becoming essentially a better version of warwicks w? i can think of quite a few problems with that. and thats not even considering the armor/mr shred onhit, which is essentially giving her kayles passive, the fact that she can use ult while ccd and get damage reduction, the double range on leap if from a brush? first, its a huge buff to ad nidalee, who is currently in an optimal spot and certainly does not need a buff as huge as this one. as for ap nidalee, yeaaah, that one gets a tad problematic too. asides from her q now having a huge ap ratio thanks to passive, the whole having kayles passive and e permanently thing, the fact that her spear applies onhits and is easier to hit not to mention the improved heal in laning? like, did it never cross your mind that you completely overloaded her kit? you gave her her current passive while also giving her a better version of oriannas passive, made her q a better version of ezreals q, and so on. i could comment more, but i think thats the general stuff. if your rework would hypothetically go through, nidalee would become waaaaaaay too strong.

tl;dr nidalees spear has a low mana cost, it does need to be more punishing, and your rework causes a power overload and doesnt address the issues and insteads adds a ton of new ones.
