Guild Wars 2

Hello all,

My main for WvW is a level 80 warrior with a rifle build. I love this build, but I seem to get a lot less loot bags than my fellow players. I think this is because I am a single target damage dealer.

What class has to best ability to generate loot bags in WvW? I am assuming that an aoe build is best for this, but if I am mistaken, please correct me.

Thanks!

I have 5 80’s and have done WvW on 6 different toons (the eng is only 40 still). By far I have gotten the most on the guardian and the fewest on the necro. For the necro, I avg. 1-2 badges for every 100 kills (don’t get many other drops either – and I play staff/wells). The guardian I got about 10-15 for every 100 kills, and this was staff/sceptor-shield (also, got a lot of drops).

I know it’s not based on damage done, because my necro hits like a truck and the aoe spam + conditions is awesome (but the game doesn’t reward you as it is (at times) somewhat mindless to put circles on the ground to tag things.

The guardian was mostly direct damage and boons, but nowhere near the dmg my necro did.

Also, thief, mesmer and warrior in that order for 2nd, 3rd and 4th for badge drop rate.
Seemed to get more from npc guards on the guard and thief, hardly ever on my necro. Supervisors tend to drop porous bones more than badges.

My eng. just spent a lot of time gate watching, moreso than my usual, and I don’t recall getting many, if any, badges.

I have an 80 Guardian/Mesmer/Elementalist/Necro and a 20 warrior. I don’t think I get more bags with any one of them. I get less bags with my Guard just because I am not that good with him as I play him the least. But last night with my warrior I was able to pick up 25 badges in about 2 hours and full bags. That is about average for a weeknight for me. I think it is more how you play than what class you use.

Hmm, I seem to get the least with my guardian. He’s support and does most of his DPS (if you can call it that) with his staff. Tons of hits but very few bags. Gave up playing him largely for that reason.

My flamethrower engineer does decent. Flamethrower spam hits a great deal harder than my support Guardian’s staff…

My staff elementalist probably does the best. Heavy damage AE.

I wonder if it’s damage based but only direct damage — no conditions. That would explain why my AE elementalist gets good bag drops but that other guy’s AE necro doesn’t.

It always seems like the thieves of the guild are having to take loot selling breaks and run around to pick up bags moreso than anyone else, though.

Being in a group has more impact than the class you pick imo.

THIS ^^^^^^^

I have 8 level 80’s, 4 of which i play seriously and nothing reaps better than the thief. My favourite tactic is to go invisi then just unleash dagger storm in the middle of a zerg. All things going well, you’ve managed to tag 1/2 the people in that zerg and if your zerg is doing its job, it will wipe them for some serious loot.

Any class use cannon or morta on wall cook enemy alive garuntee loot bag.
Even you LV10 vs LV80!!
