Is my spell caster concentrating? how to know?

[Akilae]

For example, after I cast bless, is there a way of knowing, later in the combat, that I am "concentrating" on that spell and so it will stop working if I cast a different concentration spell? Combats can be long and I have bad memory! :S

You can only concentrate on 1 spell at a time. If you cast a 2nd spell that uses concentration, the new spell will overwrite the old one. There should be a status indicator near the bottom left of your hotbar where it shows active effects on the selected character but to be honest I've never checked for a concentration indicator.

[Akilae]

You're right! I hadn't seen it before, there's a status indicator showing what spell your character is concentrating on, thank you!!

Usually a concentration spell would "stay" on the battle field e.g. clouds of daggers etc. That's the "visual" indicator. For other spells u cant really see, check the status :D

This UI needs to be changed. No where on the character or on the hoverable current status effects does it show. You can look up down left and right at all the places it should be only to be told its actually a tiny little unexplained, unlabeled icon to the lower left of your portrait. Perhaps this is specifically pointed out in a tutorial but to not have a label is a loss of much need information.

Mouse-over the small party icons "buffs and debuffs shows"
Mouse-over toon it self, buffs and debuffs shows, and last underneath your selected toon icon in middle UI.

So it does actually show 3 places.

Press T too lock in a tooltip that can be examined with mouse-over and press escape to exit the "examination"

I wonder if this is an area where Controller gameplay suffers in comparison to KB & Mouse.
All of those icons get explained by hovering a mouse over them, but without them they're hardly what you'd call intuitive.
