I am using the Dreamweaver soulbind from Night Fae, and I have noticed that sometimes, when bursted really hard, I get killed before Podtender triggers. The wildseed still spawns and is targetable/killable, but I am already dead, so it just spawns on my dead body pointlessly.
I noticed this in arena too. Really annoying to have a seed grow on your dead body when the fight could have been won otherwise.
