AK - HM Primal Gear requirements?

If you're tome farming you should do WP. WP will not generally get you any upgrades from doing the dungeon itself. IE the drops that are in there are terrible
There are upgrades that drop from AK but it does take longer and generally Demon Wall holds up DF groups pretty badly.

Even HM Garuda isn't TOO bad if you just know what you're doing and understand the mechanics.

Titan HM is going to be a nightmare if you don't have a group of people you can do it with. I was DFing Titan just for the hell of it (crazy right?) and the groups were so bad. It was impressive how bad they were. Titan is what you need gear for mainly because you wont survive stomps and the occasional misstep if you're undergeared.

3200hp for a healer/caster seems to be about the magical number to survive.

At the moment I am just farming WP for tomes so I can obtain a full DL set. Only 3 more pieces to go. As of right now, I've burned through ifrit hm, and garuda hm with ease. AK just seems like an inconvenience. I get that there is gear to be had there, but the dungeon just rubs me the wrong way. For the time it takes to run one AK I could have done 3 WPs, or at least thats whats ringing in the back of my head when I run it.

Upon the advice of those replying to my thread (thank you all, you're awesome!) I have decided to try and farm AK a bit. I've gotten Demon Wall down, but its still a pain in the ass and I hate it XD.

At any rate, thanks for all of the advice.
