I'm having trouble deciding between unlocking golems, or upgrading to level 5 wizards. Does anybody have any suggestions on what I should do?

Do Wizards. They are awesome at Level 5.
Wizards, duh..
Level 5 wizards are a "meat and potatoes" unit, used for just about everything. Golems are a specialty unit, not all that great at level 1, and if you are trying to save DE you will choke at the cost to make them.
Wizards...they can be used in a bunch of different army comps plus they rock at level 5 big jump from 4's. Golems are a specialty unit for gowipe and wouldn't really be a great army comp if your wiz aren't at 5 anyways.
pick the wiz
I disagree. Wizards are great troops, but they won't last very long if you don't have something to tank for them and giants just won't cut it. Unlock the golems and start working toward GoWiPe, GoWiWi, GoWiWiPe, and GoHo armies.
Keep in mind he is probably a townhall 8, so considering the opponents he is facing, Giants could be used as tanks imo, especially when they are under a heal spell.Quote:

No-brainer for wizards, IMO.
Golems for a th8 are really not necessary outside war. Even trophy pushing... if a th2 can make it to masters, you don't need golems. And you're farming elixir/gold or dark elixir, it can be done effectively with giants/wizards from crystal to gold.
For a th8, there are plenty of other army comps that have higher chance for 3-starring a base than gowipe -- especially if we're talking about having level 4 wizards in gowipe. Maybe good for 2-starring, but if you can't aim for 2-stars, you don't have level 3 dragons yet. :) Get those. Then level 5 wizards.
The only reason to get golems before th9 is to have time to upgrade them to level 2 before th9. 60k DE and 10 days.
IMO the strongest TH8 troop by far is the level 4 hog. Even with buffs to giant bombs, a level 4 or 5 heal spell works nicely to get their health back before they're killed. Double giant bombs in th8s are extremely rare, people sort of got lazy since most attacks are dragons. But in my experience, double giant bombs can be handled.
