Guild Wars 2

I have few specific questions regarding this..

What contests enemy keep?

Hitting the door? .. how many times? how much damage?

Hitting the guards which are at the door? .. how many guards? how much damage?

Hit the patrols around the keep? ..

And after I do something of the above that works to contest enemy keep, after how much time does it get contested? .. its surely not instant ..

thanks

Hitting the door or doing damage to a wall.

Any damage will contest the keep. 1 attack is fine.

I think the time was 30 seconds before the white swords show up (WP is contested immediately) , but I could be wrong on that one.

Are you sure hitting the wall contests a keep, I dont think it does, and I am not speaking about using some siege to hit walls from afar .. I am a thief and I want to keep the enemy keep contested for as long as possible… generally I run using cloak and dagger on enemy structures because I move 50% faster in stealth , but I have not seen say SM with open WP getting contested because I was running hitting cloak and dagger on external wall ..so I am 99% sure that using cloak and dagger on keep wall doesnt contest it either.. could u be please way more specific? thanks..

Any damage to a door or wall. CnD doesn’t do damage to a wall. To do damage to a wall you need siege these days.

what about the guards guarding the door? or that doesnt work ?

No. Only damage to the structure.

Not working =( .. I went to enemy keep, used shadow refuge for loads of stealth, went to the door, dropped caltrops on the door [ that doesnt take stealth off] , then hit backstab on the door to come out of stealth .. obviously, all the guards near the door attacked me, so shadow stepped away for reveal debuff to go off .. used dagger pistol stealth for safety .. .. by this time, 30 secs pass and the caltrop skill is refreshed .. so generally ran around dodging a few players who were there, again went to the door, hit it, ran away .. I tried this MANY times, .. BUT .. on mini map, the keep just would not show swords as contested .. checked for 30 secs delay before the swords appear etc etc .. what am I doing wrong?
