perma-death

can someone explain what causes perma-death? Fights where you immediately are not given an option for an ally rez or a life scroll?

    If you've already died and been revived once by an ally, you get a debuff for I think 3-5 min called "revive sickness." You can't be revived if you die again while affected by revive sickness.

    That's why you don't get that option if you've already been killed once.

    What about respawning time after death? In pvp matches for example, sometimes it takes 5 seconds to respawn, sometimes 15.

    Yeah, let's not abuse the meaning of well understood terms, okay? This is not perma-death.

    okay, so to be clear... you can rez yourself as many times until your cash runs out if you use scrolls of life, can GET rezzed by an ally but if you die while revive sickness is on (after ally rez), you can't scroll yourself or get rezzed by an ally....? This is good to know if this is the case because then during boss fights I'll tell my team mates that we are only using scrolls because being locked out of the boss fight is really, really, really annoying

    TR's Shocking Execution kills you immediately, without possibility of resurrection, If this is what you mean.

    no, this is about dungeons and being locked out of boss fight because you get killed and no way to get rezzed because of some rule that decides when you can use a life scroll or not
