I rarely use any other primary. The target acquisition really suits my style, swinging from one target to the next and landing five, six, seven headshots in a row is commonplace. The Thorn is great for this also, but I've found it preferable to use the Venation with Against All Odds (as a sort of huge-clipped Scout rifle thanks to its awesome low firing rate) allowing me to equip Invective as my Exotic. Don't worry mate.. the Venation has its fans!
