The main problem is the next heroic boss, Firelord Ignis, is a piece of cake compared to Lascivius. This just does not make any sense... all of the previous weapons bosses were more difficult than the preceding relic boss. It also seems that the three bosses before Lascivius are much, much easier than him. I know that relic bosses are supposed to be much harder than chest/helm/cloak bosses, but the massive jump in difficulty in this case just doesn't make sense, especially given how the next weapons boss is actually easier to beat.
On another note, I feel a lot of people that can move away from the old paradigm that Cianna was almost a must-have for bosses can attain improved results against heroics. Even before the patch, I never used Cianna in heroics, since I used a two-mage lineup. I did use to rely on Cianna to get that first stun on Lascivius before the patch, in order to hold him at bay for one round while my other heroes mopped up his minions. But now, I find that using Rhize I can actually kill him in fewer tries that it used to take me using Cianna, since he allows me to kill all his minions by the middle of round 2, just in time for Shayd to start firing on Lascivius.
