How to play against Pocket

Combo: Pocket sends Flying Cloak and teleports to it, channels Barrage for 2s, then escapes into Enchanter’s Satchel.

Punish window: Enchanter’s Satchel is his escape. Once it’s used, he has none, at 780 health.

Beware: Barrage is a 2s channel; burst him during it rather than retreating.
