Class Questions

So I'm thinking of starting a new character either on Scania or Windia (maybe the latter, not sure ^_^; ), and I'm dithering between a brawler/x-bo(wo)man. Pros and cons? (also if someone could remind me of the AP distribution for an aspiring x-bowoman, that'd be much appreciated ^_^). Thank you in advance!
