I definitely feel your pain svndr!
By the way, just a little FYI, at 1400 trophies, attackers will use lvl 4 lightning spells! It's very annoying, even with lvl 6 mortars they get wiped out. I suggest max your wizard towers.... without the mortars, well you get the point.
also, there's really no "best farm defense" layout! Drags lvl 3 will desecrate you.
Last thing...try to move your big bombs inside base, to give attackers a nice surprise and it will make them guess if you have teslas, spring traps, etc.
