Replacing dodge roll with spectral dash

[Nabbut.7480]

shall be more fun and thematic.

Just the name change, nothing else?

That'd be cool

I think profession-specific dodge animation would be a nice touch.  Not a necessity by any measure.

You'll turn spectraly-green as you dodge, too!

Yeah you perform a Daredevil-like dash turning spectral in the process.

I think a profession specific dodge would add a nice level of flavor to the game!

Thieves have that cool 'woosh' dodge sound.

Revenants have that trailed mist effect while dodging.

Mesmer could reuse the Mirage effect while performing the dodge roll.

Necromancer could turn spectral-green with, perhaps, a ghastly groan.

Elementalists could have a cool effect, such as the elemental rings around their wrists trailing along with them.

Warriors can have their Reckless Dodge effect but baseline, without the damage if not specializing in Strength.

Guardians can have their dodge from Honor but baseline, no healing if not specializing in Honor.

Ranger can have some sort of nature-y yellow-green trail.

Engineers can have a mechanical whirring while dodging.

I agree, they could recycle the animation from spectral walk?

If they did, I wouldnt be surprised if dodging teleported you back to where you were 15 seconds ago.
