How do I find a static raid group?

Pretty much what you're being told, advertise yourself. But to cut the crap and get straight to it, you need to prove your worth to those in a static. Show people you can play, and can play well. Nobody wants a dead weight DPS, regardless of which job it is. If it means changing, you should. Being flexible in a static helps a lot!

I used to MT in mine and switched to MNK because FCoB really is MNK friendly, plus I do reasonably good DPS.

.... Show people you can play, and can play well. ...

The OP can not show people, if the OP can not even get a chance to demonstrate. This is such a catch-22. People not being inclusive, not even offering substitute fill-in spots to try-out, how is OP going to get started.

.... cut the crap and get straight to it ...

Yep cut the crap, someone, anyone, any helpful raiders going to give the OP a chance to try?

This is the kind of attitude that will not get you a static.
Coil isn't the only place to try out. I got into my static by coming across a static group that was 7/8 that happened to be farming Levi back when it was worth something. They liked how I played PLD and recruited me to their FC, hoping for me to join a static. But real life was in the way but once that was dealt with, I had a position available. Why? I happened to show this group of people that were recruiting how well I played and I did it outside of coil. So saying there's no way to show people is just giving up and rolling over, while other players are getting into statics.

It doesn't matter if you end up in an FCoB or SCoB static, if you are making progress, that's all you can ask for. You may have to take the hit and join a SCoB that is on T9 if you yourself have progressed to FCoB.

The statics are hard to start, hard to find, and hard to keep together.

True, if you have no leadership qualities what so ever and also no dedication or determination to keep a team together and recruiting.

you need to prove your worth to those in a static.

This..

You can do this by playing well for ex's in PF etc, it does not only need to be during final coil.

If your more than pulling your weight, people will notice sooner or later.
