In alpha I took zero wits on my characters and was able to go first in every fight and find all the discoverable secrets with clearmind + wits gear. Zero reason to take it.
Conversely, I did a play through and put ever single point I could into WIT and nothing else at all.
I did always go first (obviously) and I did find some stuff by the salamanders I'd not seen before (perhaps you found it anyway somehow). It didn't much matter my damage was lower as it was the 45th time I'd played it.
Honestly if you want to complain about a useless stat it should be CON - WIT is OK as it at least does something. CON does nothing (perhaps later, we will see).
