FS#5969 - NPC health bar reading wrongly
I notice this most when I’m fighting a group of NPCs, but have seen it at other times as well. The health bar of the NPC I have targeted will show 0%, even though it is in fact well above that, even full. This is a bit frustrating when fighting a mob of NPCs and trying to loot them as they die, because I cant’ tell whether I’ve targeted a dead or live opponent, and the auto targeting against live opponents makes it challenging to get the dead ones before they poof. I often don’t even realize I’ve retargeted since the health bar for the live opponent looks like the dead one’s.

Was observed when using AOE DOT spells
Confirming that this is an issue.
Since reporting this I have also noticed it with a group (wrathrats) where I attacked each of them in turn with sword. I also noticed it with an imago that attacked me. I have also observed (less often) the case of a NPC's health bar showing full when it is not. So far as I can tell, the health bar corrects itself when you inflict some damage on the mob in question.
When a target is selected a MSGTYPE_TARGET_EVENT is sent from client to server. This cause the server to start send MSGTYPE_STATDRUPDATE for the selected entity. If this message is lost the health bar will be wrong. Stat DR messages are only sent upon change. So in the situation with damage the new Stat DR message will cause the situation to repair.
