Disengage causes you to leap backward up to 13 yards, like a knock-back, but for yourself (or like a backwards Blink).
Uses
This ability is highly useful in escaping from melee range, not only in PvP, but also in PvE.
Notes
One of the classically infamous Hunter spells, can easily add additional mobs to a fight if an inexperienced Hunter Disengages without checking their rearview mirror.
If possible, jump right before you Disengage for an increased travel distance.
