Dealing with insane chip damage on Lance?

[u/Traditional_Tune2865]

Basically the title. Really high chip damage wasn't really a thing in World until the final couple monsters if you had a decent build, but in Wilds I'm already coming up against really high chip damage, with max lvl guard, against attacks from monsters like tempered Gore and Zoh Shia. I've been trying to hit more perfect guards and play some evade lance, but I don't play lance so I can dodge attacks or the need to have perfect timing against half the attacks from these monsters. My understanding of Guard Up is that the reduction in damage is only for unblockable attacks so I don't think that would help any either.

Does lance now just require perfect timing in order to keep you from sheathing every couple attacks to heal or am I missing something?

If you play bad you get bad results. There are now 3 set bonuses for health regen + the mending mantle to recover chip damage. The timing on perfect guard is insanely generous.

If anyone else has such great pointers like "I didn't read the thread so here's this thing you can do- the thing you're specifically asking about not using" maybe just keep your headass advice to yourself, thanks.
