Its time for an update... lets hope supercell reads this and implements a change for the new patch!
3-4 minutes supercell, anything more and they are still pretty much worthless.
If you see Wizards below 5min production, you will see a lot less Archers in raids now and all the hardwork you've been putting on those defenses? Worthless..... Those Wizards will eat through your base a lot more often and 3 starring you.
i think they should be 5 minutes, not any more or less. 5 minutes seems fair enough for troops that take 4 spaces and deal some good damage.
They'd still cost a lot more lix and they'd still take more time to train. And defenses aren't worthless against wizards, just a bit different tactics needed. Even assuming 2min training time (roughly same per housing space as archer) 25 wizzies that would replace 100 archers would cost 87.5k lix (30k for 100 L6 archers — I'm assuming troops at max level here), which means that army would rarely pay for itself in raids. Either less raiding or more gemming?
Still, I can and do use wizzies with 10min training time. Shorter training time would mean I could use them slightly more but as the training time of my army still is in 1h ballpark, it means I'd have to start either speeding spells & gem healing queen & king or not attack any more often anyway. Yes, slightly shorter training time would IMHO be reasonable, but I don't see huge change in game dynamics due to it.
Is Elixir ever a problem before TH9? lol...... Who cares about Elixir when your Wizard army can take on 1-2 THs higher than you no problem and get better bonuses?
You should see how great Wizards are on a GoWiPe set up. Heck even with just Giants as your tanks, you can 3 star almost all TH7s you can encounter and a good number of TH8s.
The long training time for Wizards keeps them balanced. I personally wouldn't like getting attacked by Wizards all the time because if they do, it's really an easy win in the hands of a half decent player. Also, ever seen a rage spell Wiz? They can 1-2 shot almost any building. <_<
Although if they were to reduce Wizard training times, 7-8 minutes is the sound decision to make. Anything less and you'll see a lot of "Wiz are OP" threads.... :P
yeah 5 minutes seems more appropriate. Way too many troops require 10 minutes to make.
