Brand new player. I've figured out how to tell what status effects I have on me but how do I tell what I've cast on an enemy? Is it all through the combat log?

Also (I haven't partied yet as I'm just playing the jobs trying to figure out what I want to do) how do I tell status effects in a party? Both what people have cast on an enemy (so I don't cast the same) and what effects are on my party (if I'm playing WHM and I need to remove the effect).

I have tons of questions! I've played very briefly before but really want to give FFXI a good go this time.

I'm very undecided on a class to play but I think I may lean towards a jack of all trades or a support class, suggestions?

Thanks for the help! I'm trying to find all this info on my own through http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/
