How would you know? That was rhetorical, you don't. You think barbarians, essentially big guys with a penchant for bloody melee combat, are on a level of realism below dragons.

I think I saw that movie! 
I think the OP makes a point... it's one thing to pull if you've got some good range powers (blaster, defender etc) but that's a big ask for any toon at even or above level
Fun tho

You know me, I don't generally like to complain 
but
This was just slightly ridiculous for a toon barely out of single figures with the mission on the easiest setting. Either someone out there seriously doesn't like me and sent the entire council army after me or I had all the mobs for the entire map in once place...I didn't bother to try to find out. I abandoned the mission.

That looks like the 'stealing supplies from the boat' mission from Dr. Creed to me. Is that right? I didn't have a welcoming committee quite THAT big when I did it, but I did find using teleport to pick 'em off one at a time until the numbers got manageable worked for me.

To be honest I don't remember all the details. That was a screenshot taken some time ago with the intention of posting it with a suitable comment but I completely forgot about it. I think that toon was a stalker but most of my toons are jet black and a lot of them have a thing for chains so it's hard to tell which one it was
Reminds me of Chaos Arena in Cabal. It starts in a big arena, few mobs as breakfast. But as time goes by, more and stronger mobs will spawn, eventualy spawning so many you just hardly cant stay alive.
At the end, a boss spawns, you need to kill it to succesfully win the round, while 40+ mobs are wacking you

I had a mission from one of those mage types; and it had portals that spawned demons. I tried to destroy the portal with my MM, but I died before I was able to destroy the portal. When I came back the room was filled with them; again trying to destroy the portal and got killed again. By then I counted roughly around 50 demons in one room; mission failed after time ran out (one hour). Think I died about 10-12 times trying to kill them all. So in response to the OP; yeah I would have tried to kill them all.

Normally you can ignore Portal Rooms though, they don't count towards objectives.
Good XP but the recent changes to Behemoths so they use the old style Inv toggle means they can be evil for MMs with almost capped defenses.

Sorry for derailing to the OP, but since I hate failing missions I want to try this again through Ouroburos and if I can skip portal rooms I just might do so next time.
It was Archmage Tarixus and the mission Forge the blackwand. http://coh.redtomax.com/contacts/contact.php?id=215
Something went terribly wrong there and I've never been able to figure it out. The problem was, this portal room was near the altar I had to reach and since there were already several demons (6 or so), I couldn't just slip by. So I tried to destroy the portal first, got killed ... etc.
edit: Deleted earlier post since I didn't feel it was clear enough. The "wave of demon attack" sounded to me that I had no choice but to kill those demons; not sure though.
Portals can be taken down reasonably safely as long as you remember to run and then take out the spawns that should have followed you before returning to attack the portal again. Just don't stay in the same area as it and have it spawn 20 mobs - same technique works with the Vampyr Generators in the Striga mish for that matter. but they only spawn individual foes.
Basically
1 attack portal ignoring the spawns until they get as big as you can handle
2 RUN!!! but not too far - you want to get out of the portals aggro range but not lose the spawns you have pulled.
3 Clear the spawns that have followed
4 Pull any remaining spawns
5 Repeat from 1 until portal destroyed.
They are skippable and the demons will give no XP although the portal gives a good amount so if you're low damage feel free to ignore all or some of the 6 (usually) of them.

It's like waiting to out-level the jeweled thrones of the Earth before you tread them under your sandaled feet - it's just not right
