Salts vs weapon enchants

[geryboy85]

are enchants better? do they scale with stats?`

I want to make a frostbite build with 2 fast weapons, then poison salt/enchant, plus the poison to bleed ring, and the pendant that does extra dmg for every status effect on the mob.

Are salts enough, or should I enchant my weapon with the spell?

Salts are fine if you have no investment in radiance or inferno however if you're running a magic build those buffs will heavily outperform a salt by comparison

As far as I can tell, salts have shorter duration and also weaker damage buff. This is hard to test for me as I have heavily invested into Radiance so my weapon buffs are supped up. Weapon buff spells last 90 seconds while salts last significantly less time, supposedly 30 seconds.

Weapon buff spells even if cast at minimum required stat are always 90 seconds, time does not scale with more spell power, which makes them great utility as long as you are fine without ranged weapon/throwable.

yes I played pure melee build with throwables but it seems some magic points for buffs are in order. I'll get pure melee out of my head.

I did it all pure melee. Me and my sword and my heal cross and that is all.
