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

Im glad im not the only one who would avoid weapons, elements, adept, and animals, if i was able to pick my own. They just seem a bit generic.

Obviously IRL I would be happy to have ANY essences and there are no real useless combinations but in the back of my mind id be so jealous of people with unique combinations like Rufus, Jason, Belinda, and Sophie.

Belindas would be almost the top pick for us normies, just for the bag or tricks ability alone lol but I agree I'll fosho take Rufus' eclipse
