I really don't see where people are coming from when they say the nerf is bad for the game.
It pretty much kills the need to use anything else in almost all endgame content. With and without breach and clear.
I'd be perfectly content to see it removed from the game, just so I could use other exotic weapons without actively handicapping myself. Nevermind a nerf that'll keep it viable in endgame content, just not completely dominant.

Again, D2 is a non competitive, completely casual looter shooter that focuses around PVE. Why is everyone so concerned about balance? Theres a reason players love anarchy. Its the only powerful and fun heavy weapon (mostly for solo players), thats left in the game. Why demand a nerf for something in this casual pve game that people love? Makes no sense. We do not break encounters with it, nor does something become cheesecake compared to other choices. People just enjoy the playstyle anarchy opens up. People like you do realize that Bungie has a tracking record of completely trashing weapons they announce to nerf right? They will most likely reduce reserves from 26 to 10, while nerfind damage by 75 % and making it so bolts don't stick to targets anymore. Sounds fun right? Thats what Bungie does to fan favorites. Keep my words in mind when this weapon becomes useless. Like everything else in the heavy slot. Nice that so many people like you want that...
