if anything this can potentially save you time/tomes on darklight gear; in the event you get a piece for the class/job you're working on that week, there's a chance that it'll be for a slot you didn't buy Darklight for yet. Even if it IS for a slot you already have Darklight for, then it'll still be an improvement. It's not meant to negate the need for i70 gear altogether, and it shouldn't. The game isn't even 6 months old, Darklight shouldn't be cut out of the progression chain just yet...
Simple change the ilvl55 to ilvl70.
