In all fairness, you'll lose any time vs a Windwalker Monk. Fists of Fury is just too good when used well. Brewmasters at level 10 have very little offensive capacity compared to a Windwalker, and defensive they're not doing as good either. Having said that, you'll probably be better off with skinning, though engineering would top both because as a Brewmaster you have no stun and barely any cc. If only brewmasters had Keg Smash available at 10, then they might be viable as that ability does a shit ton of damage at low levels. It's your call though, if you want to run around in BGs spamming nothing but Dizzying Haste, which is entirely useless vs any ranged and most melee.

Yeah, I was test running that today. I do around 40-50 dps compared to my rogue which does 150 dps.
I think that slow kiting will probably be the only thing truly viable as brewmaster monk. Never thought of engineering, tbh. You just made my choices much harder to decide on.

The most annoying thing in my opinion, as a brewmaster, is the lack of any decent ability. Pretty much any 10 has sort of a signature ability, and Dizzying Haste just can't fulfill that role.
I'd recommend you to try out Windwalker a bit, pretty sure you'll enjoy it more.

Well, i'ma continue testing it out for now. First i need to cap out herbalism and get some gloves and another ring.
