Most effects that target wisdom will remove the character from combat, or at best severely curtail what actions can be taken. Hitting those saves is pretty important, BUT - they don't come up all the time. In fact, several sessions may pass without needing to make a single wisdom save. And that entire time, having the lower main stat is making the character marginally worse at whatever it is they're doing.

Be slightly better, but occasionally fall on your face, or be slightly worse and fall on your face less often. Honestly put like that...

Each time I think about it I change my mind about which is better.
As someone that did his duty and paid his taxes at level 12 by grabbing Resilient (Wisdom), I completely understand.

The thing is, while 5% is minimal, when it's the thing you are doing ALL the time, it will come up. And given that it's like... the one thing Barbarians do and are meant to do very well, it's an annoying choice to have to make. It's a tax, pure and simple.
