EX trials and Savage Raids (and Ultimate fights) are the hardest content in the game. These are not places you should go to learn your job. These are places you go AFTER you've learned your job. If it takes you a few months to learn your job that's fine. For example, I've leveled white mage to level 70 but I don't know the job well enough to step into a ex trial as a whm. I can handle a dungeon just fine but I wouldn't do high end content without getting better at the job and learning more of its ends and outs.

Now I'm not saying you should somehow know a savage or ex fight before trying it. It's perfectly fine to enter a learning party and make some mistakes while making an honest effort to learn the fight. But you should know your job already so that you can focus on learning the FIGHT. If you need more practice to learn the job, again that's fine, but don't do it in savage/ex content. Do it in dungeons, at a target dummy, or normal mode fights.
This goes all the way down. If you can't handle your class at Savage tier, don't do Savage tier with it. If you can't handle a class at expert tier, don't do expert with it. If you can't handle 4.0 content with your class, don't do 4.0 content with that class.

And if you can't handle ARR content, just uninstall.
