Everyone that ran AK wiped on Demon Wall their first time, unless they got pulled. For the 'leader' to have a fresh 50 with a GC weapon and AF armor try to solo the golem adds is not only unrealistic, it's just dumb. There are two DPS!! There is no reason for anyone to tell you to solo that golem. Sure it can be done, but that doesn't mean it needs to be done. Those golems start shooting off AOE moves on top of the AOE move the boss does also. Trying to have one DPS solo that add is just stupid. The faster it dies, the easier it is for everyone. You don't need a different weapon for AK, you need a new leader who actually knows how to help fresh 50s. AK can be done easily with full AF/GC weapon with the right help and direction.


That said....you may want to re-evaluate how far you are going to make it to your relic. The 2nd boss of AK is much more difficult to a new player than the 1st boss. And Ifrit is a relatively easy fight. The mechanics are scripted, all you need to do is learn it and it's always going to be the same. It gets absolutely no easier from here on out for you. If you label Ifrit as 'crazy hard', then Titan might be game-breaking for you. I don't mean to discourage, I truly don't. But maybe, instead of finding alternatives to the Ifrit weapon, you should actually farm Ifrit until its easy for you. You should have your weapon by then. Garuda is harder, and Titan is no joke, which are both in your way before you get a relic.
