I find myself in bad situations in game where i need to dodge but i just dodge so I end up waiting for the cooldown and get killed. I think 3 seconds instead of 5 would work better.

Yes, I agree.
I made a post about that. I suggested that EVADE was free, with no cooldown and no stacks, just like as in Diablo 3. And give the player the option to use the RIGHT ANALOG STICK, as in D3. I think it works much better and, as a player, I would like to be able to avoid arrows and fire balls whenever I needed to. More action, more fun.

I totally agree about the cooldown on the dash,or just take it off completley. Dodging is very important tool to help stay alive haha 
i also feel like the Roll should come back adds a different move ment style instead of just a simple boring jog. In diablo 3 i was rolling round and i found it so much more entertaining.

Yep, should be right stick to evade, and then use the newly freed up button to allocate to ultimate skill.
If evade needs a cooldown it should be 2-3 seconds max.

I liked the dodge cooldown, but it could be reduced.
Astranomaly the dodge on each class was slightly different, I believe rogue could roll/flip
the issue if dodge has no cooldown in its current form, everyone will dodge repeatedly to get around. The only way around that would be a dodge that doesn’t move you any further than walking in that same time span, instead it would give you an invincibility window or I-frames during animation. i prefer the current approach much more visually satisfying and understandable.
I also found it interesting to see the gear had basic stat +1 to dodge, or reduce dodge cooldown by x% on enemy kill. it made it worth while keeping hold of an item that you liked the base of for imprinting.
it might even open up future options to have a “dodge now uses class resource without cooldown”. for legendary trait etc.

the dodge mechanic is fine as is with the boots giving different options. It’s a much better mechanic. You have thousands of red orb on the floor everywhere. If you died it wasnt because of not having dodge
And what if you had no dodge at all?
And what if… you had no cooldown at all on Evade? and no stacks?
And what if… Evade was FREE?
And what if… Evade was just like the Roll in Diablo 3?
And what if… you would be able to avoid arrows and fire balls whenever you needed to? …and not have to ran away from the monsters while you wait for the cooldown to end?
And what if …with the Evade FREE the gameplay would have more action and the combat was more fun?

Dodge CD is good as it is. Use the Shoes with 2 dodges on it if one isn’t enough for you.

In my opinion, there is no reason for the Evade mechanic to have limits.
If it worked so well in D3, why not in D4?
And, especially for the gameplay with the Barbarian, it is very useful. It has a lot to do with the characteristics of the character, action driven gameplay and it is just fun to use.

yeah cool down should be like 2 seconds not an absolute get out of jail free card but something you can depend on consistently. the current state of the dodge is awful and they need to fix it asap

right stick for evade on console, and free up a button for a skill or the ultimate ability
