You do get more of some material if you capture. However, there are some material you can only getting from killing the monster.
ah ha! Interesting.
Speaking of interesting, Aerial Lance is interesting. Unlike GS and Switch Axe (which felt very similar to me), you dont really jump and slam down over and over, when you vault over a monster you do this tripple lunge thing, which you can then follow up with your pokes when you land, so it's almost like you're extending your pokes in the air, and then the ground, and then the air etc. I imagine that between the third poke in the normal combo (which hits three times, if you ever land the damn thing) and this air lunge, it must be great for elemental Lances.
You also get a much needed forward hop, since all Aerial styles get it. Still no World style triple poke tho, apparently only Striker style has that :(
edit: oh hey Rathian, good to see a familiar face... now please just fucking die already, JESUS CHRIST. Flying monsters run away too much fam (or all the monsters really), I even tried to flash bomb him twice (the two I had) when he was taking off and it did fuck all :/
I know it gets better when you do more damage and do hunts faster (this took me 25mins, I remember those in early World days lol) but goddamn sometimes I barely get to him them before they are flying off again :(
ANYWAY, Lance felt pretty good vs him, was blocking all (well, almost all, I fucked up a lot) his shit just like I did in World, but the lack of the triple poke (or rather, the fast triple poke, the one Striker Style has) is really throwing me. The vault attack is great tho. Either way, good stuff good stuff, probably already surpassed Gunlance as my second fave (not unlike World really) and I just started using it (for realsies). I need a good status Lance tho for all these fast hits. Also not sure what other style to try (I guess Striker) because from the videos im seeing, Valor doesnt look like my cup of tea for this particular weapon.
