Since the best way to get the monster hate off a RNG is to kill the monster, and you can't really "just kill it" with an HNM... yeah The next in line for cumulative damage would be DRK, and this is the place where DRK/WAR is the best post-60, in HNM hunts. Since you don't really rely on skillchains that much in HNM fights, DRG and SAM aren't really that ideal.
