Avoid Barrage’s projectiles so Pocket cannot build damage amplification from repeated hero hits. Watch the route of Flying Cloak and keep clear of Enchanter’s Satchel’s exit explosion. Pocket can wait before teleporting to the cloak. While Pocket is targetable, hit the enemy with Alchemical Flask before applying Binding Word so the slow makes leaving its area harder. Keep Willpower available for your own protection and movement.
Watch whether Pocket actually teleports to Flying Cloak before following. Stand outside Enchanter’s Satchel’s explosion and wait until Pocket emerges before attacking. Slow Pocket with Alchemical Flask, then use Binding Word while they cannot easily leave its area.
Leave space between allies before Pocket reaches you with Affliction. Fully upgraded Affliction prevents healing. Protect affected teammates from follow-up attacks. Slow Pocket with Alchemical Flask, then use Binding Word while they cannot easily leave its area.
