did I mention that you have to be picky when attacking bases? yeah! sure I did!
And that's why I post this thread that you don't have to use DE Troops to farm high resources.. farming with DE to pay off your DE troops is so rare, that's why I most preferred with regular Elixir troops. and I save my DE for my Heroes to maxed out.
Much better to spend less on faster troops and get smaller amounts of loot in larger quantities. Sure I can go all out with troops and get 400k of each on one raid after searching for 20 minutes but then I have a long time to wait for the next set of troops. It is better to take cheap fast training troops and get 100-200k at a time, 5-6 times per hour.
My best personal advice! boost your barracks by using gems..hehe
Honestly, If I felt that I have a luck finding all those good bases to attack as you can see in this video if you look closer on my Attack log. The time interval is just 10 to 15minutes only and I've got almost or more 500k per attacks. That's why it is worth to boost you barracks sometimes and I'm glad that SuperCell making the boost even cheaper and it is more awesome that you can boost now the healing of your heroes...
For my boosting:
2 regular barracks
My Archer Queen
and my Spell Factory...
