Al'ar, dont drop down for AoE in P1?

[Rustyblade]

So I have only done the fight with my warlock but on P1 when I was watching the tanks jump down when al'ar is in the middle of the room doing his AoE on ledges I counted while he did it and he only does it for 10 seconds then goes back to platform 1 or 4(or 5 if there are 5).

Has any paladin tank tried to just bubble during this and stand there being in position for the next time he flys down?

I don't have a problem buying swiftness pots but anything to help cut expenses even if its one less pot would help.

I am curious as to if this would work as well...

Anyone try this?

You really don't need to bubble or use swiftness potions, just jump off towards the ramp as soon as you notice him moving towards the middle (higher than normal for a 4>1 transition) rather than towards the middle of the room, and try to cut a little off by jumping over corner of the ramp.

Never tried it, but I suspect bubbling would work.
