I wondered if it could get an extra 'effect' that triggers on a proc, when you already have 4 stacks and cannot go further.

Paeon is a song that makes all of our Weapon skills better by making them faster, compared to ballad affecting ogcds and minuette giving us access to a new skill, so some ideas for the effect:

1)Gives a charge that can stack 2 or 3 times when repertoire triggers at full stacks. The next Straight shot or Refulgent arrow use while in Paeon has a slight potency increase and uses up a charge. Charges disappear when either Paeon ends or the Army's muse extension ends.

2)Gives a charge that can stack 2 or 3 times when repertoire triggers at full stacks. The next Quick Nock use while in Paeon has a slight potency increase and uses up a charge. Charges disappear when either Paeon ends or the Army's muse extension ends.

3)Sends out a small healing 'pulse' to yourself and nearby party members, lets say 50 or 100 potency for argument sake, each time you proc repertoire at full stacks (In reference to the skill's use in FF11)

(Not implying it should happen, I just always thought it was a shame that it does 'nothing' after reaching it's cap. Ballad and Minuet are designed in a way that you want to get the most procs out of them as possible.)

Thoughts?
I generally don't think this is a good idea. BRD already has enough utility and is still down there in terms of DPS; it doesn't need more of a reason to stay down with healing(plus, DNC already has that niche). As for the slight potency increases for extra repertoire, I don't think so. That'd just be an attempt to make Army's better but still fail in execution because you're still waiting on an RA Proc either way. If anything, I think the repertoire system is fine as it currently is.

As for Army's Paeon doing 'nothing', it does something from a trait you get at 78:

While under the effect of Army's Paeon with at least one stack of Repertoire, singing Mage's Ballad or the Wanderer's Minuet will grant Army's Muse, reducing weaponskill cast time and recast time, spell cast time and recast time, and auto-attack delay.
Duration: 10s
1 Repertoire: 1%
2 Repertoire: 2%
3 Repertoire: 4%
4 Repertoire: 12%

It makes your Minuet Phase faster and gives you more GCDs with that Haste it throws in there for you, so you want to make the most of it(despite RNG trying to spite you on Army's sometimes, but RNG is RNG).
