When attempting to run this on a Vanilla client, the bot seems to be in a rush to skin mobs, allotting only 1.3s to skin a mob instead of the required 2.5s that it actually takes to skin a mob. I have tried playing around with the latency settings, but there has been no change on the behavior of the bot. 

How may I go about remedying this?

Try this plugin, it has skinning workaround 

 

This has not had any impact on the situation. The bot still only wants to provide 1.3 seconds to skinning, then cancels it to move on to the next mob.

What latency settings have you set? Try min: 600 max: 900. See if that helps.
