I personally don't mind Anarchy remaining the way it is. As a heavy weapon by itself, it actually isn't all that strong. However, paired with a good special weapon, it becomes what it is. Almost always the strongest DPS option outside of a sword.
Let's look at the alternative, it either still adds ticks of damage on top of your special weapon which will still be the best option, or it gets nerfed so hard, the combo of special + anarchy can't even equal the best heavy weapons.
Now let's look at the DPS phases, currently it's shoot a couple Anarchy shots and do damage with a special weapon. Rinse, repeat....
Nerfed Anarchy will probably mean we will be shifting to Xeno, Sleeper, Deathbringer, etc, by itself. That would be more boring and probably require less skill.

Yes because anarchy is a high skilled heavy, compared to those.

Yeah ngl the bigger problem is definitely the legendary special weapons encroaching on power weapon damage, but Anarchy is still a little too strong. Not to mention I’m just sick of using it.

Then use something else. This is the dumbest argument that can be made. "I can't use anything else because I don't feel powerful."
-
No, that’s not the argument. The argument is that you can’t use anything else because you are actively hurting yourself and your team if you don’t. Master VoG has made this especially apparent, Anarchy is a mandatory requirement for Templar and Atheon and any other exotic is damaging to your chances of success. That’s not a good thing. Should there be a meta? Maybe, but like it or not there will always be one, so it doesn’t matter. But should the meta be this oppressive towards literally every other option? No.

The whole of the game is not master VoG, just one aspect of many. So, it is the argument. Why is anarchy a must in that activity? Because breach and clear makes it a powerhouse with out the mod there likely be another weapon.

*Ahem* Witherhoard plus Lasting Impression Rockets

Izanagi's + Breach and clear GL. You want damage, theres the alternative.
