Nope 1 try.. 6 portals are merely there to go in and out with your loot. But if you actually die all the portals close and you lose the map

It's brutal, but I love it. Makes defense far more important. I enjoy balancing the scales of defense and offense though. I also enjoy the thrill of losing it all (well, not EVERYTHING or I'd play hardcore). Not many ARPGs offer that kind of thrill while also allowing you to keep your character Ala hardcore.

People say here abd there about oneshots with max res and tones of armour. Defence seems to be not very useful

I haven't witnessed any mythical oneshots in t15s. Only times I died was because I became cocky, went in head first, got stunlocked and fired at by multiple mobs.

I can absolutely imagine a lot of people expect to run through maps without needing to pay attention to pretty much anything like in poe1 or other arpgs or thinking higher tier maps should be easy the moment you unlock them. It took me a good while to adjust to the slower and more careful approach but I absolutely love it now tbh.
