Yet another thread about one portal per citadel

I know this is getting mentioned a lot but only having one portal per map, particularly on citadels, is very disheartening. We can spend hours getting to and setting up the towers around a citadel only to die on the boss and not be able to attempt it again. Regular maps its annoying to lose the tablet mods on the map, but on citadels its devastating. I just died on an iron citadel with the boss on 10% due to not being able to get out of the way of one of the freeze beams and then getting hit a couple more times by them with my life pot out. Between the exp lost at 92 and the maps done to work towards the citadel I probably lost 5+ hours to gain nothing. If I had more portals and just lost more exp or if for instance going through another portal made the positive mods drop by 10% I would totally be fine with it. But right now, I don't like how this makes me feel. I guess another option is to make citadels rerunnable at a cost. Pathing to them sucks. In Dark Souls the bosses are hard but its minutes between attempts, not hours or days.
