So even if you have a max lvl earth quake it still takes 4 spells to take down walls. What was the point of the upgrade? When will it get to the point of 2 or 3 spells needed to knock down walls.

I believe that it will always take 4 spells to knock down walls. With upgrading the spells all that happens is that you get a higher damage to buildings around the walls.
The point of the earthquake rebalance had nothing to do with walls, it had to do with how it affected all other buildings. That change is significant to gameplay in that it now takes a % of total building hitpoints rather than a % of remaining building hitpoints.Quote:

It would be way to over-powered if you could take down walls with 2 EQspells. Right now I have to sacrifice an elixir spell to carry 4 EQ. If I could take 3 rage & 1 freeze or 2 rage & 2 freeze in addition to the EQ spell, I'd be ripping through bases like a hot knife through butter.
This. Everyone in my clan WILL NOT, I repeat, WILL NOT upgrade due to only using it for walls. So again what is the point if people only use it on wallsQuote:

I may be bringing down a wall in front of an inferno. It takes 4 EQ of any level to bring down the wall. But 4 level 1 will also effectively do a level 2 lightning on the inferno. 4 level 3 will do 2 level 5 lightnings instead. That is why I upgraded, if that doesn't matter to you then there is no need to upgrade.
Before the update it was not worth upgrading definitely, as the damage % to building was like 6-10%. But now, a single max EQ spell will deal 25% damage to a building, which is 1375 damage to a TH10, and to all other surrounding buildings such as xbows and inferno towers.
A single lvl3 EQ spell will deal 966 damage on a TH9, which is even better if you are opening a passage near the TH.
You CAN take down walls with 2 EQ spells... It's called the jump spell and it costs the same as 2 EQ spells and it completely negates the walls, regardless of level...Quote:
