Personally, I don't think it does. At least not for hunting. Unless you can use the mantle with your weapon drawn, or sheathe midair. I've found that the glaive has more than enough aerial ability without needing the mantle.

Basically, I've only found it useful for traversal, and only essential in one instance.
