Making spells takes way to long even when your boosting. To make 4 rage spells takes 1 hour when boosting. These spells need to be put to a lower amount of time when boosting. Right now not worth the time to use gems to boost when you only get to use it twice.
You know, I've been thinking about this, and I might have a possible solution to offer.Quote:

You can build a stronger, storage raiding army in 30-60 minutes, adding healers, wizards, valkyries, etc. But you might want 2-3 spells to support that, 60-120 minutes depending on spell choice.
For pushing or war, a strong army can easily run 2 hours or more. Of course, a full load of spells can take almost 4 hours at high TH levels.
No matter how you slice it, spells take longer to brew than armies. You can boost the spell factory to 4x the normal speed, but you can also boost the barracks to 4x the normal speed, so your spells are still behind schedule.
So, if Supercell won't reduce the time to cook spells, how about increase the effectiveness of the boost? Instead of a 4x boost, why not a 6x or 8x boost? Yes, this would mean more gems to offset the increased output. Two simple options: keep the 10 gem cost, but reduce the boost to only 1 hour. Or, increase the cost to 15 or 20 gems, and keep the 2 hours.
What do you guys think?
It's already at 1 hour for boost making 4 rage spells make it 20 min when boosting. Boosting only lasts two hours so, where its at right now only use it twice. Kind of sucks right now, but maybe that's their plan to get us to use more gems,
