Hucksters aren't necessarily unviable - they're in much the 
same boat as they were when DL first came out regarding 
Jokers, and a lot of hexes have only lost Ace value effects 
which mostly sucked anyway.

Shaman could be in as much trouble as hucksters - the 
Hunting Grounds are trashed and a lot of nature spirits 
have been destroyed.

Blessed get their power from elsewhere.  In DL, they get it 
to even the score with the powers of abominations and the 
like.  If that follows through to HoE, Blessed are going to 
be disgustingly powerful (much worse than Templars).  The 
thing is, they'll be limited by the tenets of their faith 
and won't travel far around the West because they'll have 
to help all the starving, suffering people they meet...
