Dodge roll

Dodge roll is a movement skill that is possessed by default on all characters. It does not require a skill gem slot, and has a dedicated keybind space by default.

Mechanics

• Dodge roll has no cooldown or cost by default.
• Dodge roll moves the player 3.7 metres in a direction.
• Dodge roll cannot be used to cross gaps or crossable terrain obstacles (e.g. small fences) or move between different elevations.
• Dodge roll reduces the player's character size to 0 units during the skill animation. This allows the user to roll through enemies if there's a small gap between them, but they can still get stuck if completely surrounded.
• Certain small monsters can get pushed away by the player while dodge rolling.
• The first half of the roll animation avoids projectiles and non-AoE attacks, and can be used to cancel almost any animation except another roll.
• Rolling covers more initial distance but travels the same distance over time as base movement speed when averaged out. Roll speed is affected by movement speed. Allows for quicker initial reaction but is not a speed boost overall.
• Dodge roll's animation cannot be modified by skill speed.
• Dodge roll will forcibly cancel most skills. Skills stop spending mana or other costs if cancelled.
• Rolling while shapeshifted will morph you out of the transformation, though this can be negated in some cases.

Modifying dodge roll

Certain skills and passives can modify Dodge roll or change its functions entirely.

• The Unwavering Stance keystone disables dodge roll entirely, but doubles stun threshold instead.
• The Bulwark keystone removes the invincibility frames granted during a dodge roll, but grants damage reduction while dodge rolling.
• Blink is a buff skill that changes your dodge roll into a teleport while off cooldown.
