The overlap for the first star is small enough it probably won't matter. The second time (if you need or accidentally spawn a second star) if you have malice targetted on you, it seems like a bad idea to stand close to where the star spawns because you don't want it to drop on anyone else (this shouldn't be that bad to avoid as there is a giant ground marker) and more importantly you don't want the people standing next to you soaking malice to get retargeted over you. If a guild has it on farm, I doubt they need a second star. For a first kill, especially if you have people on the floor, you might though.
