1) If you're with a overgeared static/fc - it doesn't matter much. If they're willing to carry you, just try to get some AK accessories at least.

2) If you're with a fc/static that's not overgeared (this is progression for you) - half darklight, half ak is fine. A primal weapon would be good but the 55 gc weapon can take you through. Try to be above 3k hp or at least very close.

3) If you're with a pug. Mostly darklight, if not all. Primal weapon. I think this is only polite when grouping with strangers, no matter how skilled you are. You are new to the fight, so you might as well be as prepared as you can be beforehand. 3-4 ak is fine, rest darklight.


I think you should decide based on the situation. Situation 2 is not very common now, which is why you get two extreme answers usually.
