==Use==
Surecast prevents spells from being interrupted when the caster takes damage. Without Surecast, any direct damage taken has a chance to interrupt the spell, with the interrupt chance increasing the higher the damage. Surecast can be used any time the user anticipates taking a large amount of damage to maximize their uptime. Surecast only protects against random damage-based interruption—it will not prevent interruption from actions designed to interrupt, interruption caused by statuses like or , or interruption from movement.
Surecast also protects the user from knockback and draw-in effects. Aside from simply protecting the user from potential damage or death caused by these effects, Surecast can provide a significant uptime increase, as the user will not need to worry repositioning, and in some encounters the animation lock caused by these effects can last several seconds. Note that not all such effects can be blocked by Surecast.
Surecast is an instant cast off-global cooldown (oGCD) ability. This allows players to weave it between global cooldowns (GCD) after using instant cast weaponskills or spells.
