Back on topic: I'm not sure wits needs a buff. It seems pretty powerful to me, all in all, for both in-combat and out-of-combat. The greater problem, to me, is the way initiative works now. I really dislike the change to that mechanic.
The two are tied together. The initiative system needs to go back to how it were so it makes sense to put points into wits again. That's all there is to it.
