Bow/Crossbow builds only care about Wit for the initiative, because they have another stat they can pump to get crit more effectively(Ranged Weapons), and bows come with crit on them with an astounding regularity.

Wits as a source of crit chance is supplementary at best, certainly not the primary way to achieve a viable rate.


Dagger maybe but you still need it for initiative since you're likely the fastest char to go for a quick burst and out.

Warfare uses it because Enraged has been nerfed to oblivion with its 2 AP cost. Most attacks also have been nerfed especially crippling strike. They have roughly the same damage as normal attack now. Outside Overpowered-Crit, attacking twice will either yield the same damage or 50% more damage than using enrage while also not putting its user in danger. Also it's bugged.

Bow abuse crit with warfare + huntsman. Ranged is weak and adds less damage than warfare + huntsman because of how its damage stat work compared to Warfare and Huntsman.

The only legit reason to not get wits now is that the weapon has +25 crit rate (only some weapon have it and the highest level weapon do not) and with the nerf to rune slots on unique gears (from 3 to 1 on act 3), you can no longer put in 3 fire runes for massive crit chance anymore and has to choose between that or the source orb.

Not to mention a certain fight is best done with like 70 ini and you will need both high wit + clear mind for that unless you want to be in for a hard time. (That is if you don't abuse arrow storm)

Wit is always useful and just got a buff with the slots nerf. Only in act 1 or low level does it feel useless to have on characters outside the fast one.
