Personally I think if your not being carried by your friends you should be level 70 with garuda weapon and some DL at least in accessories slot. All of you saying AK gear and I55 weapons are enough are lying to yourselves cause you been doing it too long and probably have a few relics in your group. I have 4 relics and in everyone, anyone with less than a primal weapon and Some DL was being carried. my blm had all ak gear and DL cowl and i think the choker. and could barely survive tumult. I always get a garuda weapon before I take a job through titan and collecting DL is just a natural thing with speed runs going on all the time. Dont gimp yourself. I just got lucky on blm cause was in DF group with the most competent players I ever met and we kill it effortlessly with only 2 wipes. We all had good weapons and appropriate gear. I had only joined for practice as blm and ended up with a win lol.
