105 is better (I think), but not simpler

I worry about dragons in CC not so much as a danger but as a road block. If if CC triggers before dragons get to ADs then they will focus on the CC dragon while getting pounded by those two ADs (I think)
Simpler. Light is a pretty easy spell. See AD. Blow up AD. As long as your deployment line is right you can still roll the base. Rage requirements specific placement/timing under duress of battle. Not to mention sometimes it spazzes out the people in it (and they don't go the way you want).
That said, if you like rage and are comfortable with it I would agree a 105.12 or 105.21 has a bigger upside than the 11 Light.
Zaps rely on the raw power of dragon
Most dragon riders prefer the control rage gives, you can pick when and where it is needed.
Most dragon spammers prefer to Zap the stronger/deeper AD as dragons by themselves are beasts and can wreck many th8 designs.
I think the difference is when a base has strategically placed dragon problems like high hp storages, mines and the new skeleton traps. Then rage is preferable.
This is for th8, for th7's there is no choice, zap zap zap (as a th7, th8 has dragon 3 can take 2 AD 5 no problem) for my mates that take on th9 (as a th9) 4 rage all day is the only way to take 4 AD5/6, we will pass on AD7, lol.
Bottom line is RAGE = Skill & experience using, Zap & spam for the rest.
Why kill a chicken w/ a bazooka?

I would agree i THINK 105 w/ various non lightning spells seems to have more power HOWEVER why kill a chicken w/ a bazooka? If the base layout is setup for an EASIER and/or MORE PROBABLE 3 star via lightning you should go that way -- the chicken will thank you.
LOL.
I try to boil it down to my ability level ...

Thanks and and keep it up!
Adam, glad its helping. I try to boil it down to my ability level. LOL.
Loonion vs Dragoon = Its about consistency

While the loonian could work on certain bases at TH8 for a 3 star, it can't do it against as many layouts. The base has to be setup to allow it. The Dragoon attacks (813, 105, 11 light) are more forgiving and allow the average clasher to have a shot at 3 star. We rarely see a successful 3 star with loonian against us. Can't remember when actually. Probably because of the base setups (ADs in, WTwr supporting, etc).
