I tried using Infusions and the improvement was less than expected, almost negligible. The main benefit is when not using Vital Strike, to reach higher turns/second. But it's still not better than Vital Strike yet. Eventually it might be, with Imperil or stronger equipment.

I almost never use infusions but I tried them today since it's both void day and easter. I'm surprised that I continue to keep up with level scaling. I'm not slower than I was back at level 360, with or without infusions.

After a couple years, new
panty obliterated my previous record by almost the same amount it increased my adb. So lololo16 might have been right, and when I hit level 400 and soulfuse my last 3 pieces I might be able to put forth an interesting 1H result. These days I always use infusions and usually imperil in normal play, but imperil does not help me much in DwD
yet so I didn't use it for this run.
Regular arenas are not like school girl ones though: I have indeed been getting slower at higher level. From my
haste and imperil tests, I got ~2.7% slower from level 378 to level 387. Changing my panty restored me to ~3% faster than level 378 in regular arenas.
This is because school girl arenas are less dependent on raw damage due to Vital Strike, so side stats which always improve with level matter more (they do not scale down like damage does). Back when I was level 360 I could kill the weakest of regular monsters with one plain ordinary (critical) hit. Right now my raw damage level is less than half of that: I can't even kill any imperiled monsters with one plain hit.
I still use haste, and do not have Orbital Friendship Cannon (though I am close to unlocking it through self drops).
