I been seeing people talk about barch a lot for the higher lvls but that don't seem to work very good at TH5. I can get most the loot when I attack but I also want to get 100% Any suggestions?

Mass barbs just because it is pretty darn fun...
bring 4 wallbreakers, 8 giants and the rest archers
Actually I just started trying this. Still not getting me 100%
Edit: It could just be I'm aiming to high on the bases. I'm going by how much loot it has and if I think I have a chance to beat it. Most of the time either the bases are way to high or way to low. I hardly find a base I'm matched even with.
I'm just reposting a slightly edited answer of mine from another thread on the same subject:
At TH 5, I hung around 700 trophies and raided bases w/barbs and gobs (+ a few wall breakers of course). Barbs to distract defenses and gobs to suck up the loot. I'd be real judicious with my use of barbs. There were times where I'd drop one at a time to distract a defense and then drop another as the first one was about to expire, all while the gobs were going nuts on resources. Worked well enough to pretty much max out my base before going to th6. Never was lacking for resources either. You can also throw in a few archers and/or giants instead of the barbs if you like.
Oh yeah, this isn't meant to get you 100% wins. Its meant to get you loot. That's all that should matter at TH5.
Ya that's what I been doing the last few hours and it does exactly that. I'm raking in the loot. Just not getting 100% I guess I can live with out getting 100% I tried using some giants and archers they just weren't working out good enough. I been doing 60 barbs, 6 wall breakers and the rest goblins working good enough.
Hang around the 900 trophy range and use your 135 troop capacity to the best possible... use 50 barbs, 40 archers, 5 wall breakers, 35 goblins... if possible get 2 - 3 giants in clan castle... then target bases with collectors and or storages exposed or within the 1st layer of walls... If you have giants in castle send giants to distract defenses, then send in 10 barbs and 10 archer behind to clear buildings blocking your path and send in some wall breakers to destroy the walls and open a path (note try to use the necessary amount and not more... get to know what walls your wall breakers can breach e.g: 2 wall breakers level 3 can break open a gold wall (level 5), while 3 are needed for pink walls (level 6) ) then once a path is opened send in your barbs and archers in waves of 10... when a path to the storages are open send in goblins is waves of 10, 10 and 15 so they not all taken out at once by mortars or wizard towers.
This is the strategy I have been using all the way up to a maxxed out th6... and my storages are constantly full... Im planning on using them all the way to maxxed th7 maybe even th8
p.s forgot this point lol that strategy should get you 1 star all the time and usually 3 star if used right
I found the solution. I just do 10 balloons, 12 wall breakers, 38 barbs and the rest goblins. I've done 3 times now on harder bases than usual and gotten 100% and mass loot for each of the bases I attacked. Only draw back is it takes 1hr+ to make the troops. But it's worth because my gold stays maxed, elixir is about all I need. And this way it's finally growing because I'm not constantly having to hit the smaller bases and failing. The last 3 bases had 100k+ elixir.
My strategy is drop a few barbs close as I can to the wizard tower to draw it's fire and then drop the balloons. Then I send in the wall breakers. Next once I got the whole in the wall I send in the goblins for the loot. Since the balloons are so slow I check the corners for buildings, if there is I drop the barbs on them. Any barbs I don't need on the corners I send into the base. I keep getting 100% and have plenty of time left over at the end.
Edit: It's will take less to make the troops once I can use all 3 barracks but I'm still upgrading my barracks one at a time. So I only can use 2 barracks at a time.
Edit#2: I went back and looked at my replays. I did lose my first attempt it had a air defense. I just have to take that out 1st with ground troops then send in the balloons. Still 1 loss out of 4 it really good considering those wins were 100%.
