Yup... just about anything works. Gotta love scrappers. To break down playstyles though...

Regen- Fastest out of the gate with heals and quick recovery before level 10. Stays extremely playable for the life of the toon. Very clicky and requires constant attention, though. Extremely solo friendly.

WP- Regens evil cousin. Slower out of the gate but ends up quite nice. A good mix of defense, resistance, endurance, and regen. DOESN'T require nearly as much attention as Regen. Extremely solo friendly as well.

SR- My recent favorite. Probably the slowest out of the gate, save maybe Shield. Still, the endgame playstyle is... disturbingly awesome and easy to make yourself invincible. Not as solo friendly, however, unless you're patient.

Shield- Probably the least solo friendly, in my opinion. Very slow to start, slow to mature, and can require a fairly costly build. That said, with said exepenses, it's INCREDIBLY powerful in the late game... Near SR defeses, some resistance, and one of the more fun attacks in the game.

Dark/Fire- Lumped these two in together... havn't played dark to higher levels but they both tend to focus on higher damage output (Or in darks case, some mezzing as well). To balance, they don't have as good of defenses, though they both have admirable heals (though Dark Regeneration has one of the highest end costs of ANYTHING in the game... 1/3rd of your endurance unslotted). More solo friendly than you'd think, though.

Invincibility- Somewhat average.. plays more like a tanker set (Wonder why?!) than a scrapper set. A little slow out of the gate compared to others, but has excellent defenses and essentially capped resists with it's tier 9, for quite a while. Nice in the mid-late game.

Write down each primary in a small sheet of paper and throw them in a hat. Now pick one randomly. Repeat for secondary. You now have a badass capable of teaming and soloing well.
