too op

(I posted all of this on the other stat discussion too.)
How to make good stats for a spy knife (and any other weapon):
1. It helps to look at the weapons name. The name is the base of all of my stats, and i add cool affects that go with the name as well. Check out "Crescendo" to see what I mean.

2. New mechanics! DO NOT, and I repeat, DO NOT make stats if they are just going to simply change barely from the stock. You have to have a weapon that changes the gameplay experience all together, not just some weapon that has stats.

3.(Optional) Teaching weapons: Teaching weapons are weapons that teach you skills and purposes for that class. For example: The Diamond back teaches you what to do as a spy, as far as backstabbing and sapping goes. And then it rewards you with crits! The Rocket/Stickey Jumper help you learn jumping techniques!

4.The stats have to be balanced. Enough said.

With all of that being told, I hope all of you guys choose wisely upon this.

Here are my stats for this cool knife:

Pro's:
On backstab, you gain full health.

Con's:
Facestabs do no damage.
Sappers don't disable sentries, they make their damage -60% and they take 30% more damage.

On each backstab, sappers work 10% faster. (Example: 1 backstab= +10% sapper speed,
2 backstabs = 20% sapper speed, etc.)
On each attempted facestab, sappers work 10% slower. (Example: 1 attempted facestab = -10% sapper speed, 2 attempted facestabs = -20% sapper speed, etc.)

Do you see the new mechanic I tried to put in there?

I tried as hard as i could to make stats and a new mechanic in 3 minutes along the lines of what I just said, but mind you, this stat set will be edited.

i feel like it needs to do bleed on non backstabs and i agree as with the bazzar bargain type thing for it Domtv posted

imo, 8 sec kinda OP. also full-invisibility offense break main idea seriously. so it had to be somewhere between. ie like "6 seconds of reduced signature regardless actions", but at less(than 1800hp) activation/triggering or "instant/silent cloak/uncloak until respawn/death" after 2000hp. and preferably - latter option.

New idea:

• All damage the wearer deals is reduced by 25%
  
• Backstabs fill up a power meter, as the meter is filled, all damage dealt is increased by 30% (+15% damage boost overall and sapper health drain rate) (meter maxes out at 6 backstabs)
  
• Facestabs do 30% less damage and reduce the power meter by 40%
  
• Up to 20% of the meter is kept if the wearer ACCIDENTALLY kills himself (falling, environmental hazards etc.).

Correct stats:
On backstab, wielder gains full health. 1 health regenerated per second. Damadge taken will be divided in half. -25 health. -50 attack speed. 50 health on face/front stab. 20% faster zapper speed. On criticle hit when hitting enemy, fast cloak with no sound, lasts for 5 sec. On backstab, gain 50% more speed.

yyou need to add more cons to balance out the ability to attack while cloaked
