All i45 to i49 gear bonds roughly three times faster at Urth's Gift now while maintaining there Tier IV conversion rate. SMIV, SAIV and all other Tier IV materia quantities should increase.

I don't know where you're getting this info from, but that's not my experience so far, nor is it the experience of those in the SB testing threads. The sweet spot for SB gain is on mobs approx. 10 levels higher than the gear you are SBing. I think people just read SB rates increased for using level appropriate gear means if gear=mob level you SB faster, which isn't true.

I used to SB open world, now I'll be SBing in dungeons. Will I be so under geared people will have to carry me? No, but then I never did that, and very rarely saw it either. I will however be less able to carry the newer players who I am usually DFed with in the dungeons.
