As you're only farming DE, you can afford to look hard for a good base to raid, and afford a rage spell or two here and there, and you'll still make plenty of gold and elixer. Or you could farm down, just cherry-picking the DE with half an army or less per raid on exposed drills and stores, in which case you don't need a full army so could probably double your rate per hour.
