ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

I should get there for the first time in the next day or two - should I close the portals or not? I don't on the other 3 difficulties.

that depends.

if you are a lets say... rogue, can only hit so many at once and attaking them takes you away from hitting bosses, then yes.
on the other hand, if you are a reaver, you want as many bodies, for the kill-vim and vimsense to restore you.

it really depends on your kit.

If you are planing on keeping them through, make sure you have a lot of flat damage reduction since, while not that powerfull, the tokens can mob you down if they mass up enough.

although, that's just my opinion, and i have only defeated easy diff sooo...

Haven't played Madness but I know Mex leaves the Dragon portal open since they will aggro on the Sorcerers but closes the other 3.

Neither of those classes are even madness viable. Arena doesn't quite count as a real win.
Why are you even posting here?

I have multiclass - basically a Marksmen with speed boosts and bow threading, spin fate/webs of fate etc. so huge speed boost and fast shooting.

I do 15,000-45,000 dmg per shot, depending on the target (> 100,000 on training dummy lol)

What would you advise in this case?

Do you even need to worry about portals at that point? but there's honestly no reason to leave them open other than mostly irrelevant achievements, may as well lower risks.
I've never played around with the dragon portal myself but that seems worth checking out.

well, if you can kill madness elandar as fast as normal characters can kill insane elandar does it really matter?
