Guild Wars 2

What are your tips and tricks to get as many as possible?
I find myself switching to LB in a zerg ONLY to be able to AOE. Been testing if the poison from SB generates as many.

Sometime it seems i have a hard time getting enough bags and specially picking them up if im running and shooting.

So, got my sake….share your wisdom oh you mighty internet.

Im currently running a hybrid BM bow/GS build. (i figure a throwing trap build would generate bags…)

My trap build rakes in bags. Run up to a zerg, triple traps, run to back line while attacking, entangle, traps again, works pretty well when you have over 2000 condition damage and 3000 armor.

I agree with this guy

Barrage works – axes work – traps work

After the WvW reset last night I went there for the monthly.
My build was 20/30/15/0/5.
In around 2 hours with piercing arrow, SB, signets, QZ and RaO I got 30 kills in small zergs, then I changed traits to run as trapper + Entagle, in about 20 minutes I got the 20 kills and about 1 hour later I got about 80 kills.

That huge difference in kill count and my cond. damage is kinda low, about 900 and my armor is also low, 2400 armor, so if you spec more into a proper trapper build you can do even better.

Entangle pretty much guarantees 4-5 bags if you get in range for it during a big fight(not always the easiest thing to do though)

May I ask how you get 2000 condition damage? I have 5 pieces of exotic carrion armor, and 1 green, 2 exotic earrings that are carrion, 20 points in wilderness survival and still only am sitting at 1100ish.

Barrage on any large zerg that your side will defeat will net you tons of bags.

The only real problem is that since like 30% of people run guardian I end up with about half my bar gone just from retaliate.

1. Target downed enemies.
2. Kill them withl LB/SB and pet.
3. Use Barrage and Entangle for some additional tags.
4. Rake in more bags than pretty much any other class.
