You have to upgrade barracks one by one otherwise you should wait for a long time to train troops.
IMO TH8 should max all offenses (include BK lvl10, golem lvl2, dragons lvl3) and rush to TH9.
I think there is no point sitting on full elixir and de storages all the time just to upgrade defenses.

Agree, it makes you are target too.

Even I'll hit a TH8 if it has 150k+ elixir. Add that to a league bonus and I'll take 200k+ each time, with ease and no spells. Good snack raids while my heroes & spells catch up if I'm waiting on them.

I just gave up and put my elixir storages outside with my TH.
Why risk a three-star for a worthless resource?

Good plan, if you did that and I saw it I guarantee a shield and 150k elixir loss; nothing else.

Might as well just unleash the giants and take it all. Double it or nothing. With some Dark Elixir on the side :)
The Dark Elixir covers the zap if they revenge you. Think of it as just that.

I had a similar issue when I was th8, best solution is either to upgrade your th or donate troops that use Elixer fast such as Giants

Patience, and wait it out. Cook overnight wizzies for your clanmates. They will love you to death.

Don't forget that elixir can be used for 6 gold mines, and a new gold storage.

yeah. I have a full list. but gold storage and mines need a few elixir.
in total your elixir upgrades need 27,648,550 and all elixir researches need 36,400,000
in compare you need 102M gold for all defenses plus 128M for all walls.
