"Strand Titan" while yes Strand Titan wasn't nuked because it wasn't a pvp issue it did get hit. 1. Synthocep 2. banner of war 3. Woven mail. Pretty sure they mentioned they had other plans ready just in case and only did a small one since there were multiple factors into why strand titan was so strong instead of just 1 ability
Banner of war provides decent healing and a little bit extra damage but outside of 4x stacks is basically worthless and even with 4x you can still be easily killed before the healing saves you
Woven provides a decent defense but without any healing you still die in like 4 hits in most endgame content
And syntho (Now replaced with wormgod by many) provides a massive melee buff that while strong couldn't save you from death.
Combine all 3 and you remove each abilities weakness by having woven to lower the damage, banner to heal the damage, and syntho to deliver it.

You forget 2 builds: Infinite melee loop with.... i'm not sure. Feedbacks? Whichever one that could give you a full stack of armor charge, thus letting you instantly loop back to a full melee. AND the grapple punch strat that a lot of people are using now to solo raid bosses. They are without a shadow of a doubt extremely strong. But have remained untouched. Why? Because you can't use either in crucible.

Which bosses are people soloing with grapple melee?

Feedback though they nerfed it. It only provides infinite energy when specific modifiers are in play now and grapple punch sure but it also needs multiple factors.
