Although the specific dodge function is limited to the Thief Vocation, most other Vocations have abilities they can use to both attack and get out of the way of an enemy attack. Some of these specific abilities take some leveling to unlock but are well worth it as it is beneficial for every Vocation to have a way to quickly avoid damage.

Keep an eye out for any abilities that cause you to dash and strike in a direction, or pivot back and rush in for a follow-up attack. For example, theHindsight Slashattack theFighter Vocationunlocks will cause you to take a step back before rushing in. Although this isn’t exactly a dodge in and of itself, it can certainly be used as one when you find yourself in a sticky situation.
