Creature Kill Credit

Note: As a reminder, players who are in Parties with Share Experience toggled will divide their damage equally amongst all other party members with Share Experience on, allowing non-damaging players such as Healers or Bards to be treated as having inflicted damage for the purposes of earning credit on Creature Kills
