AD Assassin item concept

I thought of a new item but for that I needed a new component item with Attack Damage & +Movespeed to make it work.

item 3599 Cursed Spear 1100g

[ Long Sword + 750g ] +15 Attack Damage UNIQUE Passive: 10% Cooldown Reduction UNIQUE Passive: +5% Movement Speed

item 3694 Cloak of Stars 2800g

[ Serrated Dirk + Cursed Spear + Stopwatch + 200g ] +40 Attack Damage +10% Cooldown Reduction UNIQUE Passive: +10 Lethality UNIQUE Passive: +7% Movement Speed UNIQUE Active: Grants invisibility for 1 second (120 second Cooldown).

This item is aimed at roaming/ganking and outmaneuvering/outplaying rather than raw damage, hence the lower AD & lethality. More skill expressive and less burst/stat-checky. Not an ideal rush item unless you can weave around skillshots and wards. Naturally, the active synergizes with item 3147 . Some might be against giving assassins more invisibility & more ways to proc duskblade, but this has lower offensive stats for the price and no defense capabilities except for the MS and active. Also, a normal stopwatch gives you 2.5s of stasis where this only gives 1s (but you are able to move while being unseen & untargetable).

Personally I feel like we need some actual AP assassin items. Seriously every AP assassin just dips into mage items, and the only actual assassin type AP item is lich bane, which doesn't synergize as well with 2 AP assassins(despite one of them always building it) because it has mana and not everyone who builds it is even an assassinZoe TwistedFate. You could argue Morellonomicon's redesign was an attempt at an assassin AP item but mages are still using it heavily just as much as AP assassins, which means so far there's literally no AP assassin item.

I mean as an assassin item for AD champs this is a neat idea, although I don't feel like it needs to exist considering Duskblade does exist. It'd be a cool option for someone like Shaco for getting out of fights, considering he has no out, but I don't feel like we need an item that directly gives AD assassins a chance to proc it for free(also keep in mind ANYONE could use this item to go invisible, which could cause some issues).
