You could argue it does require building magian macc staves but meh. I know I didn't aside from the stun-staff.
I've actually found myself opting not to have Magic Accuracy ToM Staves by sheer virtue of extra space; Enfeebles on the more up-to-date content can be landed consistently with or without the M.Acc Staves, so right now they're still fairly voluntary. On a side note, suddenly having people treat you nicely for having an up-to-snuff RDM for Delve is kind of nice. Everything's coming up Milhouse!

Sucks when your other up-to-date jobs are useless, though. When RDM got mega-nerfed, people said stuff like "at least my WAR is still useful".

As for the Macc staves, I have 2 of them, and I haven't needed them for any enfeebles I have cast. If it can be landed, really any mage with B or greater enfeebling skill. I did notice sleeps getting resisted with chat. staff, and stuns getting resisted due to RDM's low dark skill (even with Thunder Macc staff). A dark Macc staff would probably be a good idea.

Edit: poorly worded

It was ambiguous enough to bother me. *shrug*

Eh yeah Sleep is Enfeebling, but he did mention Dark Skill; I'm sure he knows Stun is Thunder-Based.

Yes I know that stun is thunder elemental, and sleep is enfeebling skill. If you bother to make any staff, Thunder Macc is the first, but RDM's dark skill is low enough that even that isn't enough a lot of times. As for sleep, yes its Enfeebling skill, but it is Dark elemental, therefore Dark Macc staff. Sorry, I should have clarified more, I assumed that the 2 I had would be pretty self explanitory.

The culprit aside, its thunder has been taken; while handy for a few situations, it's still a novelty at best

Its been said many times, but BLU is far more melee than mage, whereas RDM is still far more mage than melee. That's both in function and with gear.
