@Angelwatch: I do feel the same. I feel people should, out of respect to your group, tell them before starting if you are new or not. That way me or someone else will explain it. However, I cant agree on the part about the 3k HP limit really, I did AK fresh in my 45-50 job set with ifrit weapon on my warrior, my friend did it in 45-55 parts. The place went alot smoother than WP which is supposed to be easy.

The dreaded "dps check" on demon wall is a joke. You dont need gear to kill it, you need smart people standing in the right places so they can freecast to their max. Start left/right side, move mid, back to left/right, back to mid for repel. Easy since the AoE is never random. This allows you max uptime as whatever dps you are, you should never have to interrupt a cast. Then sure gear matter a bit at flies, but all you really need is a geared tank and healer to ignore flies. I've never died on wall due to lacking dps, only to stupidity or wrongly placed players.
