I play both of these and Panth is a hard matchup for GP, if you pick GP into Panth you are either a fool or a very ballsy pirate person. What you do in this matchup is you dont max Q as it gets blocked all day. And you should try to sidestep his E, its rather easy when he tries to W-E. Thing to know about Panth is that he can max Q or E, in first case he will have strong, mana efficient poke but bad trades, in second case he will have deadly trades but weaker poke and mana issues. As a safe option on how to deal with Panth i would suggest maxing W, itemizing into tankyness and farming, Panth will suffer to mana issues and ganks.
