I have noticed the more times I die in a game, the longer I must wait to revive. What is the formula for revive time and is there a cap?

    We should probably call it the revive timer because the game calls it that, and searching for revive under diablo-3 turns up nothing...

I don't know the exact formula, but the delay seems to increase by 5 seconds each time you die. It starts at 3 seconds and has a max of 28.

It does not seem to be affected by any other actions, and resets after 2 minutes.

  • Excessive amount of time = 2 minutes :)

  • I recall being able to die around 3 times before the timer goes beyond 3 seconds.

    @SadlyNot I also seem to remember that occurring, but I could not reproduce it in my tests. If anyone can offer evidence of this, I will update my answer.

The approximate formula is that every time you die within 2 minutes, 5 seconds is added to the revive timer. If you don't die within 2 minutes the timer resets and you can once again revive in 3 seconds.

As of patch 1.0.7, there is not such thing a death penalty:

The resurrection timer will no longer increase if a player is killed multiple times in a row

The respawn timer when you die keeps increasing , if you wait 2 min it will go back to zero
