Firstly, this is just a build, not a guide. So here we have an unconventional build for Poseidon - Attack speed. I find Poseidon fairly dull to play in the usual way of a burst mage, abilities are quite boring and easy. Don't get me wrong, he's one of the most powerful AoE gods, i just prefer this build on him to spice things up a little!
Obviously, I level my 2 first as I'm using basic attacks as my main source of damage, my 1 second for some extra damage and keep my 3 last to keep it low on mana for utility. Fatalis and demonic grip are key to the build, I built polynomicon early in the video example because I wanted some more sustain, usually i would build it last. Often I will build Telkhine's Ring into it somewhere but in a lot of cases gem of isolation is too useful to pass up.
This build isn't particularly powerful which is why I opt for shoes of the magi over focus as he needs some penetration and Rod of Tahuti to give him a boost. Winged blade is another fun item on him for the movement speed, with fatalis, boots, his 2 and sprint all active you can outrun anyone!
Hope you enjoy this unorthodox build. Play with it and let me know what you think.

Pros
+Movement speed can potentially be just silly
+Good CC with cripple, knock-up and stun (+gem of isolation)
+Good utility - Demonic grip debuff can be very quickly applied
+Passive meter fills up quickly
+Fun to play
Cons
-Low damage
-Easily burst down if caught in crowd control
-Enfeebling Curse and Witchblade kind of ruin everything
-If the gimmick doesn't work then you're just a weak link on your team
This is a great build for poking the enemy team and for chasing fleeing opponents. once you have hit someone with a basic attack and your fatalis passive kicks in, used your 2, it is hard to not land your basic attacks. You can almost literally run circles around them! It's not a serious build but it does catch out and surprise them.
