    Low sample size.
    Your decision to go Res Wis was an Excellent one.
    Why do I say that?
    My Rune Knight began with 11 Wis. +0. I took the feat. +1, and then prof bonus +2 initially.
    I am now level 15 and I am +6.
    I have frequently made Wis saves that I'd have otherwise missed. And we have to make a lot of them.
    (And ask one of your caster friends to maybe use Intellect Fortress: it gives you advantage. It is a team game).

    I occasionally have to rely on the Indomitable Fighter feature to re roll a save, and I was tempted to later take the Lucky feat. Have not yet.

    Hang in there. It will pay off.

    And you are still going to miss a few wisdom saves. That's the nature of how saving throws versus spells work. My warlock rolled a 1 on a Charisma save the other day: he's proficient and has a +4 mod. Yes, it sucked, but that's how the game works.

    Rulings are not 'House Rules.' Rulings are a DM doing what DMs are supposed to do.

    Agency means that they {players} control their character's actions; you control the world's reactions to the character's actions.
    Gosh, 2D8HP, you are so very correct!
