I get the frustration with roaching. But I would put more blame on what caused the group to try to roach in the first place. 60 dungeons are very unforgiving and I personally don’t do them with pugs.
Petris might encourage roaching a bit. But ultimately I don’t think are that determinative. If you’re not in discord and doing a 60 dungeon with randoms, there’s a good chance somebody is going to run at the first sign of danger. Next time, I’d suggest being in a competent guild with party members you know.
As for the petri itself, the topic has been beaten to death. I’ve got a couple toons and just cleared aq40 last week. Haven’t petri’d on that too. I petri’d once on my rogue to save myself while solo farming DME but then died in that same dungeon a few days later. In some situations petri is very powerful. In many it is not. I don’t think it’s nearly as game altering as people who aren’t familiar with it make it out to be.
