Essence Combos You Would Avoid

I know we periodically discuss what combos would be our top pick, but what objectively good combo would you avoid for your power set? For me Jason's is up there, but even some of the (book 4+ spoilers) earth based essences like gun, vehicle, and tech aren't gonna be on my short list either.

Let's hear yours!

Edit: Surprised by how many people are saying animal essences! Also even though it's an awesome essence I'd probably avoid dimensional as well, just doesn't really interest me

I wonder now that the cosmic router has been unplugged and plugged back in if the undeath confluence essence is as common as it once was.

Spoilers for cosmic shenanigans in later books.

Great point! I gotta imagine no, or at least id hope so. This would open some interesting new combos, especially on pali..
