Lance Quality Of Life Overhaul

Short Summary(TLDR):

This is a comprehensive Lance Quality of Life overhaul. It changes Lance gameplay to permit more options during combat without losing too much DPS; as well it removes some of the Skill tax that Lance requires, by sticking Offensive Guard (there are optional versions which give Guard Up or Evade Window or Provoker instead of Offensive Guard, depending on your playstyle) and the equivalent of Minds Eye on the Lance weapons; from other Lance overhauls, I have improved Power Guard (Guard Up charge time reduced to almost instant), Dashing (better, faster, stronger, easier to steer), and the block thresholds (less knockback and damage) of all Guards. If you don't like any part of this balancing, I've included instructions about what to change and how to change it by deleting or editing the files in this mod. News and Announcements are in the Sticky Post in the comments section.

Long Description:

For years, Lance has been tied with Hunting Horn for the least played weapon in MHW, and now that its expansion Iceborne is out, its been left behind by the noble HH (please see First Wyverian stats for reference). As well, Lance has consistently come in last for at least one poll that asked (paraphrased) "Regardless of how many people play this weapon, do you like this weapon?" (citation "WEAPON POPULARITY - March 2020 | MHW Iceborne", where TheGameconomist's Youtube channel did the popularity poll; October 2020 PC results: Lance is now the least popular weapon). That same channel also has a video explaining how Lance isn't even that great of a defensive weapon, compared to its immediate competition, the Gunlance and the Heavy Bow Gun  This tells me that Lance needs some love. Huge thanks to Fexty's overhauls (this work is based on his conservative Lance changes) and the kind people that made the MHWEditor, for helping and making this possible. Now, as of v1. 8, I've included many quality of life improvements from Iceborne Lance Rework (copied edits, but not assets), mainly their weapon param changes and as small number of QOL changes. Compared to that Rework, we have a few changes that they do not, making several changes to mobility moves and finishers to make them deal more damage than the same amount of time spent poking, at the expense of being more exposed and punishable. As well, we have Offensive Guard added to Lances by default, encouraging Timed Blocking instead of turtling. If your playstyle is different, you will find versions for dodge-lances with Evade Window to get more i-frames; those who want to super-turtle can choose from the versions with Guard Up instead, or Provoker if you are playing with friends.

Given the limitations of our current modding tools, I couldn't go much beyond tweaking the MV values and related move values in the Lance files (and now the Lance weapons themselves, in v1. 3; and the
