Well, "witch" isn't necessarily female and I'd put money towards related, a non sanctioned imperial psyker in general or Zargothrax or whatever being what they're going with that commander. and when the fuck are we getting the xeno in the xeno heretic and traitor

Those don't really show up after jump 3 sector 1 past torment 5-6. It's great for crowd control on your own ship if a lesser daemon slipped thru and for countering some of those nastier psycasts that have a long channel but let's be real. It's straight up worse than a whole lot of other abilities if not all of them once you get options unlocked and synergies available and even 25 is still meh compared to some of the other stuff out there. And it being locked and unable to be switched out is the main downside of witch imho. Yes I can see the value of picking off crew and getting that sweet scrap bonus without boarding but even if you rolled that does damage to hull system you're absolutely better off with blood spear.
