No offense, but you either need to play with groups more willing to allow you to swap jobs or don't know how to gear multiple jobs. Between scriptures and raiding, I had the following 260+ within roughly four months:

Dragoon
Ninja
Dark Knight
Warrior
Monk
White Mage (technically 257)
Machinist

That's seven jobs; with only Machinist benefiting a little from the Scripture unlock. If you don't do Savage, then play whatever you want. Gear progression is near irrelevant passed ilvl 250.
