Trial of Sekhemas damage drop off?

I am trying to do my 4th Ascendancy in Sekhema Trials and noticed that when entering the 3rd Boss my dps drops significantly. I specifically have NOT selected any afflictions that will not impact my character too much, but you cant avoid any and all afflictions, so tried to make the most of it.

When I started the Trial this was my dps


Just before the 3rd Boss


My Afflictions


I am genuinely confused as to why and where this sudden dmg drop off happens.. it this a bug or intentional? shouldn't the boss get buffed rather me being penalised somehow. Am I missing something?

any help or answers appreciated.

It says you AND your minions. The keyword here is you. It doesn't just apply to minions!
