Bottled Nightmares:

Upon breaking, this releases 5 "nightmares" (I'm thinking xp points for the actual entities?) that seek out the nearest enemy. Upon hitting them, they disappear. Each "nightmare" will do 80% damage. (This could be really inconsistent which is why i'm giving it such a high possible damage number - 400%)

Troubled Sleep: An enemy affected by a nightmare will get slowness 2 for 2 seconds.

Cloying Dreams: Releases a mist that deals 10% damage per tick for 5 seconds

I mean, sure. Do bear in mind that what I write might not be what you want/imagined when writing the class idea. You don't have to use this.

I'll try keeping the spells the same and with the same general idea for their effects.

Poison Potion: 5

Deal 30% damage/second for 5 seconds.

Poisoned weapons: Give the active weapon 5% poison damage.

Stacked Poison: Give the active weapon 5% poison damage for each enemy currently afflicted with poison.

Swiftness Potion: 4

Give Speed 3 for 5-7 secs

Rabbit's Paw: Give Jump Boost 1 for 5-7 secs

Parting Gift: Throw a slowness potion that only affects enemy mobs.

(Note: I'm making Corrupted Vial spell 4 as I personally think it's a utility spell. Also, I feel like the Calming Potion is just a mesh of other characters - heal from mage, war scream from warrior, etc.)

Bottled Nightmares:

Upon breaking, this releases 5 "nightmares" (I'm thinking xp points for the actual entities?) that seek out the nearest enemy. Upon hitting them, they disappear. Each "nightmare" will do 80% damage. (This could be really inconsistent which is why i'm giving it such a high possible damage number - 400%)

Troubled Sleep: An enemy affected by a nightmare will get slowness 2 for 2 seconds.

Cloying Dreams: Releases a mist that deals 10% damage per tick for 5 seconds

Corrupted Vial:

Mobs hit by this vial will take double damage for 10 seconds, but, they will deal double damage.

Rage: Mobs will gain speed 2 for 2 seconds, but then blind for 1 after being affected.

Insanity: Mobs cannot use spells for 4 seconds after being blinded (I think this means they will use a spell immediately afterwards which means they will always cast within double damage - there is 3 seconds left)

These are my opinions of how the spells should work with Bottled Nightmares being my own personal addition. I've changed Corrupted Vial to keep the same risk reward except if you spam, then you might just give mobs speed two without any of the other effects (depending on how it works, you might just reset the timer by spamming) As for the blind, it isn't abusable as it is sandwiched between two other effects.

It might seem as if the mobs gaining speed 2 is very bad, and I have said so before in this thread, but with the availability of the swiftness potion, 2 seconds should be easily survivable. That said, it will need timing - not necessarily a bad thing - to make sure you don't get murdered by a pull spell as you use it.

Like i said, i am kind of not focusing on this much, and if you look at my brawler class suggestion, i was always up to suggestions whether i 100% agreed with them or not, so go ahead! I am always up to new ideas

True, Though the poison potion is aoe, and while the nightmares don't hit all targets, If I increase the amount of nightmares It will either be very strong in single targets (Same dmg/nightmare) Or the nightmares will do less when targeting different targets (lowered damage/nightmare). Also, 150% dmg to all enemies doesn't seem to bad, granted, it is delayed damage.

you could give the nightmares small aoe, similarly to archer's basic attack
