Sooo, mounting monsters. Its been around for a while now, but I still havn't figured it out. I understand you can ride a monster by hitting it with a jump attack, then you will stab it (doing damage?) and if you win it falls over.

What I don't get is firstly, why does everybody else stop hitting it when someone's on top? Secondly, is it worth it in damage per second terms to use? I would imagine a full party hitting the monster would do more damage, especially if immobalised in some way.
