My slideshows from my 'talks', are always, as a matter of principle, incomprehensible without me presenting them. I have no problem with the actual presentation being recorded and provided for later (video/audio + slides), so that people who wish to learn/enjoy at their own pace can do so. I have never come across a slide-deck that in and of itself is a replacement for the speaker, I have only ever seen 'failed attempts' at making such monstrosities by people who have no concept of the limitations inherent to power(less)point.
TL;DR: If you are making a slide-deck for an in-person presentation and also expect it to be a stand-in for you in your absence, then you are doing it wrong!
