Pocket comes with a tiny ammo bar, which can make it hard to get the last hits in the lane. Luckily, you can get Ammo Scavenger right away and rush Mystic Shot to get more farms. If you want to get into the fight right away, then Cold Front is the perfect combination item for your satchel.
You can also get Enduring Spirit to get some survivability early on alongside the Extra Stamina to get you more movement. Get a Mystic Reach to increase your ability range, including your chances of escaping or engaging with the cloak.
Get Extra Regen or Healing Rite if the lane is harder than usual. You can sell these items later for extra slots in your inventory.

The core items are where Pocket scales in the game massively. Enchanter’s Barrier, Soul Shredder Bullets, and Mystic Vulnerability will go hand in hand to give you bonus spirit damage and amplification from the get-go. To set up ganks and sneak on your enemies, get a Veil Walker right after that.
Diviner’s Kevlar will help you with more shield and spirit power if you initiate the fight with your ultimate. This is the perfect item for Pocket. Before the game goes into the late game, get Improved Cooldown to get your abilities more often.

You must get Arcane Surge and Superior Cooldown early on for more damage and to push down enemies. Depending on your playstyle, you can either imbue the cooldown on a satchel or barrage. If the game is a bit hard, get Unstoppable first instead.
Once you have the first three items, you can upgrade your reach into Improved Reach or get the Improved Burst with a flex slot available. Warp Stone and Superior Stamina will give you more movement versatility, adding to your abilities.

If you are surviving the fights easily, then get the Spellslinger Headshots and Spiritual Overflow to inflict more spirit damage and amplification. If the enemy team is playing too close to one another, get the Escalating Exposure first and see your enemies melt from your ultimate. Leech will get you enough survivability in the late game.

In case you are struggling with health, you can get Fortitude, which will help you more in ganks and survivability. In some situations, the enemy team might have negative buff damage. You can negate it with Debuff Remover.
You can get more tanky and be a frontline with Improved Bullet Armor and Improved Spirit Armor, depending on the enemy team’s damage types. For fun, you can get Majestic Leap and move even more around the enemy to annoy them.

Pocket Ability Point Order
Pocket’s main skill is his ability to get in and out of fights effortlessly. With his satchel, he can dodge any ability in the game. However, you will need enough damage in your Barrage in the early stages. With Barrage’s reduced cooldown, you can focus on your cloak and satchel.
These two abilities will help you maneuver your way in and out of tricky situations. Towards the game’s later stages, make sure you have the ultimate maxed out. The T3 upgrade of ultimate will add +27 damage to its already melting ticks.
