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 Tormented Demon.
Mechanics
It uses all three styles.
Every 150 damage it takes (about a quarter of its health), it switches its prayer to the last style that hit it and stops attacking for 6 ticks. Its shield cuts damage by 20% unless it's demonbane or abyssal and drops after its first attack and after each fire bomb. About every 60 ticks it binds you, turns off your run and throws two fire bombs for 40+. About 30 ticks in it becomes defenceless, so you can't miss until your first hit after the next fire bomb.
Which style: Melee, helped by how easy Arclight is to get. Demonbane spells with the purging staff are second. Ranged is usually worse but needs fewer switches.
