When is the best time to level up within a season for long term success?

Depends. Each season is a bit different for that.

Many say that, given a few exceptions (boosting early to gain extra VP's... and some specific times where you DON"T boost early otherwise you lose XP) , you can boost without significant damage to your build. I am still old school on that thought and here's just my take. Please don't accept it as gospel... be sure to weigh all input and don't be afraid to try stuff.

That said, whenever you train your dot, the amount of gains you get from that training is directly tied into your dots level and how high the skill is that you are training. Take strength. A new dot with less than 40 strength gets quite a decent training gain whenever that dot trains it's strength. (not adding in training enhancements or type of training here... just noting gain differences.) So, the more points you put into a skill, the harder it is to train it upwards. Many still follow the mantra of the following; Boost at season's end... OR... only when such can help you reach the next cap on your (usually primary) skill.
I try pretty hard not to boost unless those parameters are to be met. My dots are decent... sometimes damn good. But I am not the best builder in the entire game. Good, yes. Good enough? Sure. Best? I make no such claims. Most people build so similarly now that differences in dot quality are not easy to see. Picking out a poor build from a good build is easy enough... picking between 2 real good builds is nipping at ghosts.

Here's some stuff you can use to help you along;

The following are links to threads about building dots;

Hope this helps you out.

I usually boost at about 9:30

Day 48

Tomorrow

I copied this from somewhere a long time ago.


A GOOD RULE OF THUMB: If you are going to hit 16, 32, 53, or 69 sometime during the upcoming season, WAIT until you do to boost. This can also apply to level 41 (daily xp decrease from 50 to 25) but is less important than those other four.
