"This may have been a mistake."
Prowlers are a short-mid ranged weapon with decent melee options along with that. They also have some cool options, with the ability to specialize in different directions, for either more offense or defense. No other weapon really has that option of tossing out an attack at range and then closing in to melee. Gunlance comes closest, but gunlance is the opposite of mobile, while prowlers can run around the battlefield with their weapons out and are great at positioning. Piercing boomerangs are also unique in the way they function in that they hit monsters on the way out and on the way back.

Of course, if you remove the three lives per cart and all the other tangential benefits, then you would have to allow prowlers to use items to compensate. I'd be totally down to play prowlers in that environment in World, or even just a hunter with a prowler-like moveset that blends melee and ranged attacks together in a similar way.
