I would say 20/25 days is a bit optimistic, you still have 3 level 2 teslas that's 6 + 8 + 10 + 12 = 36 days away from maxed, if you timed it right you could start your town hall in 26 days but you also have to upgrade your air defence, you have a level 1 and a level 2 only.
Anyways I shouldn't knit pick on semantics , you certainly have your TH8 up to speed,
nope tesla are being upgraded right now with 8 hours for 1, 1 day for 2nd & 2 days left for 3rd + I thought I will still have 10 days of the TH9 being upgraded too... right ? that sud be enuf....
out of troops on dragon & healer left to max.. I will begin dragon 1 day before I begin upgrading TH so I can jump the lab update as soon I turn TH9
I think tactically it's hard to say that rushing to TH8 is a good, because it's not... can you make it work for you, yes, but it's not a good idea, although the question is as well what are we calling rushing here... moving past TH7 without at least maxing out your farming troops is very bad idea, not finishing of level 7 walls and all your defences is a different story... there are different levels of rush.
But all that said, if you are a farmer, TH7 is paradise no disputing that, it just is.
True level 3 is nearly done... I was referring more to the fact that you haven't done much work on your air defences yet and your teslas pretty much use up all the time you were factoring it... days left for teslas = 93 days days for air defence left = 52 days... 10 days for town hall = 155 builder days you have 4 builders so that's 38 days, less the 10 till you start the upgrade is still 29 days...
Anyways it's tangential to the topic so it's really not of that much consequence.
True what you said, and i had planned to remain a bit more in th8 but problem now is i collected de faster than expected and now the attacks just for de are increasing day by day, via loghtning and also full fledged lvl6 armies with 2 heroes.... I want to spend the de fast on AQ
ps: i have 5 builders not 4
Exactly. TH8 is awesome, lv5 troops, DE drill, and all those new toys. But the major offensive advantage that th7 gets is uncontested. With the 25 more walls, th7 is the best place to be. I could farm 1mil an hour at th7 without even trying.
You think th8 is awesome, which is true, but you never experienced th7 which is even more awesome.
I think rushing in general is somewhat ok for gemmers. With 5 builders and extra gems from achievements/bushes to finish builds it could be managable. I wouldn't recommend it though.
Rushing in general doesn't make any sense. It takes more effort and time to reach where you are suppose to be level wise. You are better off waiting and upgrade your TH when you max out.
I'll be honest, I'm getting the same loot at TH8 than I was at TH7. Farming between 1100 & 1250 and getting roughly 200k gold, elixir and a small mount of DE. That's plenty to please my farming needs.
