Commander build
hmm. the only problems i see with this build is you hit like a wet noodle you have also limited your group utility in place of self preservation and you have no condi cleanse at all.
Here is the link to my extensively tested build.
I am currently using Potions of Karka toughness instead of focusing crystals. (+150 toughness).

I do think the point of being a commander is to survive, above anything else. Any dmg or support you can provide on the side is good, but the number 1 priority is to stay alive since with no commander itll just be a mindless Zerg. Healing turret cleanses 2 conditions and has 2 water fields, which is why i chose it over the other heals. The condi cleanse can be made up for by the other people with me in my group. Plus im invincible against them under 25% (6.5k health)

except your not invincible. Automated responce + Self regulating defences is the worst trait combo in the game. In WvW if you go to 25% Hp you will go into Elixer S locking yourself out of your heals and cleanses and automated response does not remove conditions that are on you already so all you have done is let the bleeds and burns eat you alive. A good burn (like the one in my build) would kill an Elixer S’d engineer instantly. On top of this SRD has a 90 second cooldown making it unreliable at best (its very hard to say at best.). Also your relying on others too much especially with the changes to how buffing and cleansing works on ally’s now. (party first). So coming back to my original analysis, you hit like a wet noodle you have also limited your group utility in place of self preservation and you have no condi cleanse at all and i would like to add since you pointed it out to me your build does not support itself and must be supported by surrounding players to survive. In my opinion i think you need to make some serious changes to your build.
Its up to you if you want to take my advise or not but i hope you look into making a new build.

Im no commander but which would be the best armor/runes for something like this in wvw? dire or soldier? should I change to pistol/shield?

i took a look at your build. its pretty sound, i made 2 minor change to help you live longer. here’s the link.
I removed 10 from tools (speedy gadgets) and put them into inventions for stabilized armor also swapped out BR for cleaning formula 409. This allows you to get rid of rocket boots and take elixir B which gives you access to stability and two more cleanses. you were right to ask if you should use P/S and the answer is yes. it gives you access to the best block in the game (blocks, stuns, can be thrown to daze targets.) and a knock back that is also a blast finisher. the pistol on the other hand you wont use very much but saying that skill two will hit very hard in your build. and skill 3 is very good CC (bouncing blind and confusion whats not to like.). You will be spending most of your time in FT or EG though so the pistol is mostly just extra tools. for your gear i have outlined it in the build.
