You'd probably be able to land enfeebles from /RDM with that much accuracy. It's easy to extrapolate that you'd be insta-capped on everything in the game. I'm sure SE designed the magic evasion of NMs without taking dual-wielding into account, since staff and clubs are on equal levels.
Wouldn't that just mean mages who have to enfeeble just got more incentive to go a subjob that allows dual wield?
The 3 mages who would enfeeble anything would be GEO SCH and RDM. RDM gets JSE exclusive stuff to make enfeebles last longer, SCHs would be too busy stunning anything to toss a paralyze or what have you and a GEO is actually required to stand near the mob. That last part is important because SE is adding a mechanic where ilvl weapons with +skill on them will affect how many shadows AoE attacks absorb which would give said GEO incentive to go /nin anyway once that update goes live. WHM is excluded since its subjob requires it be rdm or sch for MP staying power, BRDs dont have access to m.acc clubs and any m.acc 1handed weapons would be swords and katanas so BRD is out. BLM can benefit but you'd have to find a use for BLM first.

Oh and GEO was included despite being similar to WHM in that their MP sustainability comes from sub because GEOs tend to be in the same party as a RDM who can refresh them. So yes I think pure mages would be just fine even with dual wield being a factor.
