As a healer, healing HP in FFXI was the easy part since it was well represented and that was the usual purpose of healing so you were ready for it in every way.
What drove me crazy was clearing up ailments. You had to rely on catching it in your log which was filled with all the other crap that was going on at the same, and even then, half the time it didn't spell out who was afflicted with what so even addons couldn't really help. So you had to memorize the possible ailments from every mob's special move and quickly guess who got hit with what or you were the worst healer ever. Definitely the most dreadful part of being a white mage in my opinion.
