— In-game description

Surecast is an action unlocked at level 44. It is available for Magical Ranged DPS and Healer.

Notes

Not all knockback and draw-in effects can be prevented. In some newer duties, these will be indicated with purple knockback telegraphs.

This action also prevents   Rescue from dragging the player.

The analogous anti-knockback ability for other roles (Tank, Physical Ranged and Melee Disciples of War) is   Arm's Length.
