Half time archer+ 4xboost = your new army (well not really)

Yes this is true but really how often do you use wizards outside of clan war base defence? that was exactly the point of the wizard promotion.... I dont think it broke or upset balance of game-play.
Wizards are too time consuming I would rather have 4 wizards and 4 giants in my army but it takes 10mins to make so i go with 8 giants which takes 4 mins.

That's because you're farming. Not every troop has to be farming friendly and I usually carry a wizard with me anyways to kill clan castle troops for cases where I want to break into the storages. 1 wizard and a couple of baiting archers is all it takes to kill a cc full of wizard and archers

I said half timing archers wouldn't affect their usage , which it wouldn't because they are used in every battle because of low costs. Of course faster time on anything would increase the frequency you can farm with them but reducing the wizard time wouldn't really increase the frequency because they aren't used to farm very much, decreasing the training time would actually have the opposite effect on most people using them to farm because they'd wait for the wizards as opposed to just adding more archers.

If by farming you mean raiding only pumps and mines then no i am not farming.
i am th 8 at 1500 trophies and usually attack th 7 & 8 with an army comp off 8 giants 8 wall breakers 60 goblins and 84 archers (all level 5 troops).i do 70% or more damage almost every time.

During wizard time i used 4 giants and 4 wizard instead and it was awesome i was able to break tougher bases get more loot.

I have to agree with you on that. Training time should be reduced to 6 min instead of 8 min

As far as people using them in wars, that argument is silly, because you have 24 hours to use two attacks, people are going to train the troops they want to use in a war attack regardless of the amount of time it takes to train them, that argument would only work if you had unlimited numbers of troops you could take into battle, then yes people might change the make up of their army based on how quickly they could make troops.

To me, using something more frequently is a change in usage so I guess this was more of a terminology issue. I saw an increase of wizard farming during the event though from people, with vineetnayak28 being one of them. It helped them break into storages better since a group of wiz will break walls quickly

I include storages too since wizards help with those. They won't die to mortars easily so I like having a small group to quickly destroy them sometimes. I meant that the opposite would be for pushing trophies since they're often used in GoWi- and occasionally in giant+healers. They might not be used too often but they do their job well when they are used

That was more to say that wizards don't need a buff

I think SC agrees 8 minutes is too long. That's why they give you an option to shorten the training time.

Wizards are not farming troops like giants... 8 minutes is the way it has always been and been fine, they are powerful enough to match the time and a lot of people use them anyways.
Also, this is the reason we cant have nice things... 1 gem boost, reduced wizard training time as a promotion and people whine and say the original was too much... just stop
