Roll is a monk ability available at level 3, which allows you to roll a short distance.

Notes[]

  • Not affected by the global cooldown.
  • Roll is one of the few abilities to be usable while dead.
  • Unlike other movement abilities (such as Ability rogue feint [Disengage] or Ability demonhunter felrush [Fel Rush]), Roll will not move the player if used in mid air, and will also keep forward momentum if it throws the player off the edge.
