/*
How levitation sequence works: boss casts Levitate and it triggers a chain of spells, target(any target, player or pet, any position in
threat list) eventually gets pulled towards by randomly selected trigger. Then target becomes protected from Pull Towards by Suspension
aura which is triggered every 1 sec up to 4 times. Since it has stun mechanic, diminishing returns cuts off its duration every cast in
half (20 > 10 > 5 > 0). Eventually player becomes immune to Suspension and vulnerable to another pull towards.
Whole levitate sequence is designed to pull player towards up to 3 times. Usually it works like this: player gets pulled towards,
gets protected by Suspension from Pull Towards next 2 times. If player is unlucky, boss can cast Levitate on same player again, in that case
player can be pulled towards 2 times in a row without any protection from fall damage by Suspension(case from sniffs).
 
However currently diminishing returns affects Suspension after first cast, its duration is 10 instead of 20 seconds and player will be
immune to 4th cast. That allows to pull player towards when levitation sequence ends. Levitation sequence has sensetive design and looks
like lack of delays between packets makes it work differently too.
Of course as was said above player can be pulled towards 2 times in a row but that looks like a rare case.
