Quote:Maybe I'm confused, but if you stop killing Rift Lords, how are you going to close the portals?
Ignoring the single adds sounds like a good idea, particularly if you have a beacon left to mop them all up before Aeonus.
I really don't know though, I'm not exactly Mr. Experience when it comes to PvE.:)
You won't be closing those portals, but the other portals will open since they do it on a timer. Usually this is bad because you just keep getting more and more portals till you can't handle the adds. Portal 18 is the last one though and summons a boss. I've heard that when he is summoned, all portals stop summoning adds. So thus you should never have to close those portals with the rift lords that you didn't kill. You just have to survive long enough for portal 18 to open. So the question becomes, can you survive just killing adds for three portals? If you have 5 people killing them then I am fairly sure you can do it for two portals being open. With three open it could be tougher, but thats why I left a beacon to help on the third one. Then Aeonus comes and it shouldn't matter how many other portals are open.
edit: I am a little worried about getting out of combat for this part of it though. If you aggro Aeonus right as you kill the last of the adds that previously spawned you end up with no time to drink or prepare. It may be easy to avoid that or it may not. Being all theory so far its hard to tell.
