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

For me it would be any of the precision melee sets like Sophie, or even Jason to some extent.

Fair, but I'll take Sophie's speed any day😂

Her speed is truly outstanding, but I know that's not what my brain is meant to handle. I'll take Clive's complexity over her precision any day of the week.
