[IG] "Dead Ringer" <Spy Watch>
Dead Ringer
Gain Dead Ringer activations on backstab
Cannot restore Dead Ringer activations by any other method
Can store up to 5 Dead Ringer activations
Spawn with 1 Dead Ringer activation
Basically, this reworks the Dead Ringer to make it higher risk, higher reward. When you activate the Dead Ringer, you have full normal DR time to do as you will, and if you have multiples stored up, you can have a second one active as soon as the first one ends, allowing you to chain them if you get a chain of backstabs. It's less reliable than escaping to restore it with ammo packs or time, but you compensate with being able to gain multiple.
The initial one in stock from spawn or resupply cabinets is to help you still get in position.

This isn't bad. But you'd be a sitting duck if you waste that 1 free cloak. I mean think of the noobs who won't touch this weapon (like me) Think how this would affect those pesky annoying unsneaky spies! Think of how it would affect, the spy using stealth! (oh wait, this actually solves a problem with spies :D but would it cause other problems?) Hey, just so that we don't LOSE the annoying trick stabbing unsneaky spy play style.... I think it should be more than 5, it should be just like diamond back and fronteir justice crits, THEN the spies will do their job, and then if they want, they can go on a stupid dead ringing spree at their spawn XD That would take skill.
Well, if you waste it, you can run back to spawn to get another.
Alternately, this could be another watch variant entirely, so you have four watch options.
Running back to spawn while you're in the enemies back lines with a few power classes looking for you and no dead ringer to fall back on? High risk, high reward, high competition, high skill, high skill ceiling. (right?) sounds good to me kinda. I just won't USE IT XD
