Mit seiner wuchtigen Schrotflinte und schlanken Statur verlässt sich Pocket auf seine Fähigkeit, für kurze Zeit in seinen mystischen Koffer zu flüchten und sich mit seinem Fliegenden Mantel zu teleportieren, um brenzlige Begegnungen zu überleben.

Description
This build is made for new players that just picked up pocket
Pocket is one of the hardest characters in the game, mistakes are brutally punishable, but right calls can easily win you a team fight or even a game
Item Build
Laning phase
don't skip these ever
800
Spirit gives extra damage to your abilities (aka spells) depending on their scale. Satchel' scale is 0.6, so +10 spirit power gives +6 damage
800
Will later be upgraded into Cultist Sacrifice, but additional resist vs NPC damage is nice
1600
Spirit resist, Spirit power, Cooldown reduction - all the thigns you want! Remember - if you are below 65% DON'T ENGAGE! HEAL! DON'T GO IN WITHOUT AN ADVENTAGE
1600
Treat this as another ability in your kit. Highly recommend learning to use it, but generally just use it with your satchel
1600
Your ult is very powerful, so when there is a group of enemies you should always consider going in to cast
1600
Makes Ult longer, therefore more deadly
800
Helps land big ult. Will later be upgraded, because you have a lot of things that benefit from a bigger radius

annotations
800
Gives a lot of health back, and does so constantly unlike rite or nova
800
Gives really solid healing, but does so over time. REMEMBER - THE EFFECTS STOPS IF YOU TAKE DAMAGE, SO ONLY USE IT IN COMPLETE SAFETY
2400
Healing rite 2.0 better scaling, faster regen, can be shared with a teammate and also quick
800
dxExtra healing is nice, try to maximize it by shooting enemy heros, but if you aren't confident - just shoot creeps
800
Deal extra damage from mid range, but does require aiming. Ideally, you should peek a corner, shoot, then go behind the corner for safety
800
If you quickly run out of stamina, this is useful. But do learn to conserve and move without it
During Lane you should focus on securing/denying souls. Always look for opportunities to do safe damage to the enemy. Getting kills is - while very good feeling - don't give you much, unless you capitalize on them. Do damage to their tower (MOBAs are games about destorying building btw) or reclaiming your side of the lane. Your spells also allow you to quickly farm tier 1 jungle, so take them BETWEEN creep waves. If there are creeps on the lane - you should be there ready to deny and push. Don't go to shop if you can push, don't go to farm jungle if you can confirm a kill - focus on the objective and the people defending it. Farm makes you more powerful, but it also leaves your tower defenseless
mid - late game
Remember to always think about how to useful to your team - be that with split pushing a lane, or with going into people and ulting them. Upgrade items can be bought earlier
3200
Pocket' main movement tool. Use it to roam and to get into the crowd to ult/procast
2400
More damage!
4000
A MUST BUY FOR NEW PLAYERS! When off cooldown, go and eat a Tier 3 neutral creep. Gives ability range and extra health. Very good
3200
Does a lot of %hp DOT. Does more damage on healthier targets. Also a source of antiheal
6400
Makes your Ult cast safer and more powerful. Try to avoid using spells before Ult cast
6400
Another source of DOT. Important - Decay *can* proc this, but your Ult can't. Also be aware of the cooldown!
8800
even more damage. and a funny +10% spirit power modifier
4800
Makes everything longer, really good for your Ult and Decay
4800
Pocket relies on their abilities to survive, so more spells -> more pocket
4000
Helps land Ult, cast Decay from far away. Also makes the Spirit Burn explosion bigger, which helps tag more people
Most powerful
Pocket shines in Mid to Late game. In mid game you do a lot of damage from your spells - cloak + satchel do 300+ damage together, multiple procasts with some gun shots in between will lead you to many kills. During this time you should roam - generally move around the map to do things, usually grouping up with your team to gank someone. In late game, when 300 damage isn't as scary, transition to be more ult heavy. Gameplan is - Majestic leap, Barrage, Dive, Ult, throw Decay at someone, Get out with Cloak + Satchel (preferably while doing damage with these two spells to proc Spirit Burn). Wait for Affliction to tick down, then go back in to finish off enemies
Situational items
There are many of them, can feel overwhelming. Buy them if the *enemy* has a certain constant threat. Such, that it is possible to weaken it through an item
1600
Useful if enemies have a lot of healing. Your ult already has healing reduction, so adding healbane will hinder them even more
1600
Mystic Regeneration gives more heals then this early-mid game, but late game this can be useful
9600
A fully passive item that just gives a lot of lifesteal
1600
Good against team with lots of Crowd Control abilities. Cages, hooks, stuns etc.
4800
if they have a lot of debuff heavy characters. IMPORTANT - THIS ALSO REMOVES STUNS AND CAGES!
3200
REALLY useful if you can time it right. Can be worth learning
3200
Bullet resist - buy if they have a lot of bullet damage
3200
Like bullet resist, but even more powerful. Gives you valueable time to act inside of bullet spam
3200
Spirit resist - buy if they have, oh wow, a lot of spirit damage
3200
A "get our of jail free" card for bad positioning. use it if you are in a bad spot
3200
A simple way to stop people from doing stuff you don't like
6400
Helps you get some extra time to live. The buffs are also really useful
Pocket is hard because of the constant need for cooldown managment. Your survivability and damage rely on them. So adding more cooldowns, while does make you more powerful, also makes it harder to manage them
4000
Very good item, but only if you can get a lot of stacks quickly (these buffs aren't as good late game)
6400
Lets you close the gap with a press of a button. Also extra damage and slow
8000
Extra spirit power and lifesteal, but for a short duration with a long cooldown - timing this is kinda hard, but the reward is worth it
1600
Extra lifesteal and spirit amp, useful if you can use your gun. But again - minimal skill build
2400
1600
A lot of good extra spirit damage, but does require timing and aim. More things to worry about is bad when you are just starting out
4000
Most useful if you can proc it every 8 seconds, otherwise, it doesn't give as much for 3k
2400
[testing]
800
only 20 hp from hitting a target. Was busted beforem nto sure about now
4000
5hp/s scales well into 10 late game, ult does proc it. 100hp heal is nice ig?
