with every one complaining about lightning on de and just recently getting access to it i thought i would try to make my own version of the solution
unstable DE
due to its instability when de is struck by lighting it turns into it's more common counter part (when de storage or drill is hit with lightning it gives three times as much normal elixir- still reduces de count)
Im sorry, be ready for a bunch of angry senior forum-ers.

On more than one occasion, I've actually used 2-3 lightning spells to take out 2 mortars that were close enough to each other (either directly touching, or only 1 space between them), and they also happened to be right by the DE storage. I got DE, but hopefully the person watching the replay could see that I was clearly targeting their mortars.
Anyway, I would be upset to go into a raid seeing 1200 DE available, and after the raid find out I 3-starred their base and only got 900 DE because 300 of it was accidentally zapped (collateral damage).
Honestly nothing wrong with this idea. And it would in fact end/reduce lightning based attacks. However,there isn't anything inherently wrong with those type attacks in the first place. It's just part of the game.
The one good de zapping thread I've seen.
I agree about the creativity, it's better than a lot of ideas I've heard.Quote:

If I'm farming for DE with barch or loonion or something that is vulnerable to AD's or mortars, this means I can't use lightning spells to take out those AD's or mortars, as I risk destroying a good chunk of the very thing I'm trying to farm. Sure, you can argue that I shouldn't be using a lightning spell, I should use rage or heal or whatever, but that's precisely the point! The lightning spell exists for a specific purpose, and the OP's suggestion would nerf that original purpose. And I'm not talking about nerfing the ability of lightning to zap DE. I'm talking about nerfing the ability of zapping a defensive building like a mortar or Air Defense.
Maybe if the effect only kicks in for a direct lightning strike, but doesn't affect indirect lightning, then that might be okay. But that's overly complicated, and it just means that zappers will drop lightning as close to the DE storage as possible without actually hitting it.
Overall, I still say no to this idea.
well feedback turned out to be more possitive then i expected
