Super extreme idea

[LordRichrich]

Create a new weapon category called "Lances" it'd have it's own wpf category too. Move ALL lances into this but in return do some slight buffing, such as making them all 1 slot. Nerfs pole cav (the most popular choice) and encourages cav to carry something other than poles, like 1h's or 2h's, meaning we'll see less longspears etc on the battlefield.
No one will like this, because it's way too extreme ^^

I'd think adding a new prof would be pretty difficult/impossibru, otherwise I would have suggested Endurance as a third stat already. I don't know how you haven't, but I see plenty of lance/2hand lance/1hand/shield cav already, probably more often then I see lance/pole cav.

This reminds me of political commercials last I was in Nevada.

I'm not sure if this could change much.
I mean even without any pole wpf a lance is not that bad to control on horse. The only thing would be the upkeep, but with about 6 WM your main weapon (pole, 2h, 1h) plus some points in lances it would be totally possible.

Not sure if it even was possible though. I could like this, not only because of 1 slot, playing both lancer and 1h at the same time though lances should of course stay unsheathable.

lance cav would have to use the double sided lance for melee

... Why?

Lance cav have their own weaknesses, while weapon cav have their own.

Might as well debuff every 2H sword because it's the most popular, right...?

How does this change anything at all? I would just be able to take a steel pick along with my heavy lance and nordic champ. Pole cav isn't the most popular choice.

You won't see less longspears since it won't lead to a reduction in the number of cavs. You don't even need any WPF to use a lance well tbh.

I fail to see how this is "super extreme."

For cRPG, any change seems extreme to 90% of the player base, adding a new WPF category obviously becomes super extreme

How dare you touch my beloved Light Lance (on foot ofc)! Away with you vile beggar!
