Works nice together with Houndmaster!

I understand what making him immune to disease or having benefits from them will be bad for balace. But having 10% base disease resist is bad for balance too. Literally in every dungeon he will collect all diseases. Bload sitting in Sanitarium 24\7 looks bad both for balance and for his lore.

It isnt that big problem, not every monster can disease you.
And disease chance of every monster is never a 100%.
It is lower than vanilla lowest (~25% of them have dis resist =20%), but it wont make him unplayable.

So far I don't think the Disease resist is a large problem as long as you keep in mind what places and enemies are going to give you diseases. Primarily the Warrens being the most egregious place to catch a ton of diseases, and the Bloat has a hard time there thanks to high Blight resists, the same applies to the Weald. These places will give you a lot of diseases, so consider not taking the Bloat here. Or if you do, bring along someone like a Plague Doctor or Grave Robber who can both cure diseases when you camp. Not only that but these classes synergize very well with the Bloat, with the Plague Doctor having more Blights to stack, and a bleed when closer to the front, while Grave Robber gets bonus damage against Blighted enemies and can lower Bleed resist.

As far as my experiences, the Bloat feels quite powerful and bulky, having access to a lot of AoE DoT effects that are quite strong means he's very good at clearing out the hallway and room fights through a dungeon, and his targetted Blight can be very strong if you have a Marker in the party to make use of his Mark bonuses against bosses. His damage takes longer than most heroes due to it being a DoT, but that's made up for by the power of his Blights in general. So far he seems quite strong, maybe even a bit too strong, though I need to test more to get a good gauge of his balance.

As mentioned he synergizes excellently with Grave Robber and Plague Doctor, he also pairs well with a few of the modded classes, such as the Butcher Bird, and Reaver, who have AoE Bleeds and Marks that can synergize well with the Bloat's skills.

Could you possibly update the Bloat on Nexus, please?
