Altruistic healing gear advice
Even with berserker jewelry and weapons, I question whether you’ll have enough crit to make empowering might worth it. Consider switching out empowering might for two-handed mastery or going for the crit/vit/healing set instead.
As for runes, people with AH builds typically go one of two routes. First, there’s 6 soldier for the extra condition removal and survivability. Alternatively, you can go 2 water/2 monk/2 dwayna for the healing and boon duration.

If you go pow/tough/vit gear I suggest you grab 5 superior runes of the ranger and another superior rune giving 25 prec (Lyssa, Rata sum, etc). You need critical chance to be effective with an AH build.
Now if you grab a knight gear, you can go either 6 soldiers or boon duration runes.
For pve i find that Toughness is much better for guardians especially with all the condition removal that we can stack. The less that we have to heal the better and toughness provides that. I wear cleric gear as a support and i rarely see myself dip below 50% when im playing smart.
So you might be able to get away with a mix of pwr toughness crit gear that will compliment your set up pretty nicely and get the superior rune of the soldier to help with those condtions.
Thx for your answers but 2 more question:
1.Is precision/vitality/healing power gear worth it?, some people say healing power isn’t worth
2.If i go with knight gear and soldier runes, what jewelry and weapons should i use?
You may find you need 1 or 2 pieces of knights or beserkers armor to get your crit up where you want it 45% plus.
We don’t need to make mandatory gear treadmills, we make all of it optional

I favor a Hammer/AH build and at the moment I’m running what I consider a basic and well-rounded gear set up: Knight’s armor with soldier runes, berserker’s jewelry & weapons and I’m at 42% crit. My traits are 0/5/30/30/5, so I get almost all my precision from gear and Retributive Armor. As soon as I get a superior sigil of accuracy for my hammer it will go up to 47% and I will be happy with the stats all-around. Variations are possible depending on what you plan on doing, but this should be a solid start for general purposes.
I use a full shout build and I eat conditions like nobody’s business. When my elementalist or necro guildies show up we take down dungeons with ease. If both of them are present or there are two other guardians in the group, the party just won’t wipe.
