4% isn't that low for a kill-all-enchantments catastrophic failure. It's a 1 in 25 chance.
Luckily, it hasn't happened to me yet. The worst thing I've got is the "nothing happened" result.

I just lost my best weapon AGAIN to enchanting failure. I went from 279 damage to 0.
On another note. The Ember Lance spell rocks. Being able to mow down groups of enemies with it is awesome. And it works great against bosses.

Exactly. I'm enchanting my armour like fucking crazy ... but, as you say, there's a 1 in 25 chance I'm going to lose EVERYTHING on that item. Plus I've gotta pay around 15k per enchant now, so it's not exactly without drawbacks 
Oh and that Unique Hawk Mantle, on the previous page? I just this second found a "Unique Epic Hawk Mantle" in a drop. Same item, just adjusted for Lv31 as opposed to Lv5. Same bonuses, enhanced (instead of, say, 4% to Ice Resistance .. it's now 15% to Ice Resistance) Fucking LOVELY -- but, due to being a Unique items, it's gonna cost me about 40k to enchant it. Sigh.
=Edit=
Urgh. 65k to enchant that Epic Hawk Mantle. Can't afford that just yet 
So, Moosey, you were saying about abusing game mechanics?

Start the game with default settings. Then turn aa on. Just aa nothing else. If the game starts turn other things on one by one. I know it sounds like a fecking mumbo jumbo but it worked for me so ...

My char still have the same weapons, no enchanting failure so far. I hope I would be able to cross 1000 DMG at lest with one of the weapons But it is getting expensive, enchanting cost ~5000 for each.
BTW, Sabin, do you use a font mod ? Fonts differ in yours and mine screens  |

People who complain about enchanting making most looting tiresome and largely pointless are at least partially right. You can't hope to contend with monsters around your own level without mercilessly enchanted items later on. And if after spending dozens upon dozens of thousands of gold (not to mention the time it took to gather all that) a fatal failure came around, I'd be pretty damn pissed myself.
It's all fine and dandy till you fail.

Which is why I dread even WALKING passed the Enchanter, for fear that he'll suddenly burst out "YOU HAVE BEEN UNLUCKY! YOU HAVE LOST ALL ENCHANTMENTS!"

I play at Normal but as soon as I reached mine floor 22, game become very hard - my weapons simply weren't doing enough DPS, I tried to add gems to sockets but it didn't help that much. During mine floor from 22 to 25 I used nearly all my stashed health potions. The only way to stand against monsters were enchanting, and now as I reached mine floor 34 I can't imagine surviving at floors >30 with just a regular loot drops and without enchanting.
Thanks for the link, Sabin  And yeah armor, I like it very much too
 
It's a combination of the following items:

Here's my alchemist. He's 30-31, I believe.
I've enchanted the rare stuff, but haven't touched the unique equips since the costs are prohibitive.

I didn't know i could enchant magical/rare/unique items until i was level 18 and the game was really really easy, playing on normal difficulty...
Now that I've enchanted my stuff this game just got ridiculous! Uninstalling.

I'm playing on normal as an alchemist. He just reached level 25. I forget which level I'm on but it's fairly deep. A couple past where Syl gets taken. I've died once in the game and that was early on when I just wasn't paying attention. I've just now got my two wands over 300 damage. I think what helps me is that I use the hell out of that golem. He and the dog go after enemies and I hit them from a distance with spells and the wands. And now that I hit 25 I use the beam golem too. Three npc's fighting for me helps. And with the ridiculously overpowered Ember Lance spell the bosses fall pretty easily too. I've got shitty armor too. I think I enchanted a necklace once but the rest of it is pretty basic stuff that I've had for quite a while.

This was the hardest fight I've had so far.... not because he did damage to me (he did. Lots of it) but because he must have had more than 100,000 health. Easy. My Destroyer's "Berserker Slash" attack (pretty much my primary attack, given how much mana I have and how fast it regens) does over 3500 each hit, and I was slugging away at this boss for over 5 minutes >_<

What. The. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!?
Ok, I'm lv52 now and I went back to Strange Land .. and the "enemies" are Lv2545! I'm not fucking kidding, they're in the THOUSANDS! Each hit of theirs does over 30,000 damage >_< How the shit did that happen!?
