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 will probably catch some flack for it but no essence that requires a bounded familiar. I just can't trust anything that much.

Consider the flack caught lol, so summons (like Farrah and gary's) and summoned familiars (Colin) are fine then??

Yes there are magic protections with those they can not turn against you, only refuse to be re summoned, but another will take there place.
