Other options by slot
The best melee pick for each slot and the next best options. Each percentage is the DPS you lose by swapping in just that item against Pestilent Bloat.
Mechanics
The Bloat walks around the room and takes half damage while moving.
After 39-47 ticks he stops, and that's your window to hit him. Anyone he can see gets swarmed by flies for 10-20 a tick until they break line of sight, and it spreads to other players. Protect from Missiles cuts it by 25%. After about 19 seconds standing still he stomps for 40-80, which you can tick eat. Falling flesh hits 30-50 and stuns, so watch for shadows on the floor. In hard mode it falls from the moment anyone enters.
