Motorboat Poseidon ....ZOOOOOOM!!!!!

Hello, this guide is here to show you what i call the Motorboat build. If your wondering the point of this build it's aboat (sorry for the pun!) Speed that is right SPEEEEEEEEED like the zoom zoom kind. But more to the point it is to be a support to get in really fast help out maybe given the chance get a kill (but being contradictory to the title) and get out FAST! I hope this guide you play Poseidon with a fresh new perspective.
