Spell cooking time needs reducing
This has been clear since update, but really noticeable after the attack boost was removed. At TH10 in an average attack I use four or all five spells. This is in Champs, using my DE farming army of a queen walk, with giants, wiz and a few hogs.
I see no way of farming successfully for DE without needing my spells. Rest of my army takes about 40mins to build, less if I queue the healers up. My heroes take about an hour and a half, but usually my queen at least survives with some health, so is up quicker.
My spells? Two hours and twenty minutes.
This is dumb. Its fine to force us to use full strength armies to farm, but to have to wait 2hr + between raids isn't. Right now this just feels like another artificial bottleneck like having upgrading heroes down during war, a feature put in by SC purely to rinse gems out of us. At least that bottleneck allows you to continue playing the farming game though. The spells one means you can't do anything, without a 5 gem boost on the spell factory (which, as luck would have it, reduces the cook to about the same time as my army build takes. How convenient huh? /sarcasm)
