I struggle to keep 5 builders going ... So expensive to make things all prettily maxed
There will be no need of 6th builder as mentioned before, because as i think there wont be too many things to upgrade since th10 completes the game, maybe some new buildings and little upgrades for old buildings(dark barracks and lab) but not as much as th10.
I would more than welcome a 6th builder. I still have about 50 upgrades to go on th10. I always find all builders busy and max storages.
I'm a max TH10 (except a few troop upgrades) and I had 4 builders on the go constantly at TH10, leaving 1 builder spare for walls. I could have easily kept a couple more builder active. Of my 4 builders, 2 were virtually constantly on hero upgrades; leaving just two for buildings which often tied them up for a couple of weeks.
I consider myself to be an active farmer. I've been playing exactly 20 months (to the day) and from day 1 I've always had 5 builders permanently working, slowing to 4 during TH9 when I was generating too many resources and had to keep a builder back for walls. On a personal level I've found farming at TH10 extremely easy and I'll comfortably hit around 1.4 mill to 2 mill total resources most hours unboosted. Last night I spent 8 mill on an upgrade and as I already had max gold and DE I only tracked elixir gains which were just over 1.5 mill in the first hour. As a TH10 (on a day with no real life distractions), I could farm in the high 20 mill total resources.
Going forward I have concerns that loot will be much harder to farm because of the removal of TH sniping and thus deminishing the requirement for additional builders. I'm one of those players where around 80% of my attacks are pure TH snipes. I understand how the changes will improve the loot offering in the average base, but this is only great for the casual player. Additional builders are only useful for the power farmers and we will be severely restricted going forward. On a good (and not unusual) hour I'll hit 10 TH snipes. At Masters 2 this is 240k total resources which equates to 2.4 mill over the hour. I have to take off nexting and army costs, but a few juicy collector raids along the way normally balance these. Even if I'm hitting bases offering 400k and I take it all, the army build times will prevent me raiding enough times in an hour to get anywhere close to my previous profit level.
There are dozens of th10s working for maxing their bases. With th11, more stuffs to do means more builders will be needed. Casual players might don't need it but hardcore farmers? Yes for sure!
To all you casuals, stop.
There is definitely need for a 6th builder. I am currently using all my 5 builders 24/7 as a TH10, and I would like to have one more available. Currently I can only use 3 for buildings, while I upgrade my heroes.
And when I was upgrading walls I only had 2 for buildings!
