Profession Concentration

With the latest build of The War Within Alpha, we got a first look at the new profession feature Concentration, a mechanic designed to help guarantee max rank crafts when skill alone is insufficient. With it comes a limitation that concentration is a limited resource that slowly regenerates after depletion.

It looks like a fully depleted concentration will regenerate in about 48 hours.
