Detailed steps on how the issue occurred.
I would be the group puller, claim the mobs and pull back away from other aggressive mobs. I would pull with arrow shots. The damage from the initial hit would take, and then the claim would happen shortly after. No other mobs were claimed when these issues occurred. The proportion of damage from my initial attack would also reduce any SP gained by that same proportion. So if my initial attack that claimed the mob hit for 50% of the monsters health, and the total possible SP would be 200, I would only get 100 SP.
To me it appears to just be claiming lag. Damage is calculated before the claim is noted to be mine. That removed health from the mob affects the SP calculation once the mob is dead. Frustrating to see.
