I remember on sage with BiS the older bosses still had sponginess but it was less than this current set. And trash didn't kill me solo but I was fighting it a bit more. In this one like you said, trash dies if i look at at it and bosses take forever. And I'm not quite BiS but I'm 789 so not that far away. This one really doesn't seem as balanced.

My main gripe with older Variants solo is the actions don't really seem to make an appreciable difference. I can use them or not use them and end up the same. Bozja Lost Actions seemed to make more of a difference so I think they could retain the sponginess if they wanted if they gave us better actions that mattered when they were applied.
