You can enchant the hell out of your gear, but there is never any guarantee that it will actually save you against anything. There is always the chance that a spell will land the first cast reguardless of what you have for enchants.

Have you done it a bunch of times, and seen if you actually save against it at all? If you are not saving against it at all then this should be moved to the bug thread. If you have saved against it, then you're just getting really unlucky.

There is a certain "cap" when it comes to willpower enchantments on a race that already has an innate bonus to it. That said, it won't matter if you have +25 or +250* on your equipment. Once the cap is hit, the enchantments won't add up anymore.

Also, people overestimate bless.

*These numbers are only used as an example.

Wait, what the [REDACTED]? So, a human with enchanted eq would be better off than a deep-elf with the same eq, because Dulrik's racial BONUSES are [REDACTED] [REDACTED]?

I'm just telling you that the racial bonus won't matter if the cap is hit. The testing I've done tells me that the cap isn't very high. So, to sum it up, it won't be much of an advantage if you are a player who generally puts effort into enchanting.

Edit: Try polymorphing and see if you notice a significant difference.

I like my example about sunblock better.

Also, you suck.
