question about "Army's Paeon"

[RiceisNice]

Melee heavy groups it can be nice (Invigorate not being enough for sustained AoE) And it only reduces damage by 15% from the descriptions.

The term I always head was "Dps ia a group effort, not any one person's" it's crappy to lose that damage (Foes by all means if you have a blm/smn) but when there's nothing except You, a War (Probably not a Drk/Pld, they don't really AoE with TP anyhow) and a Drg/Mnk/Nin, whatever the case, all starved for TP and mobs all at like 80% hp, it will keep damage rolling, if at a small cost to you personal dps.

It should never get to that point though. If AoE is properly managed (and dps is good), you sohuldn't run out of TP for AoE before the pack dies. There's bigger underlying problems if the melee dps and tank are running out of TP and the mobs are still at 80%, and you'd probably tank a larger dps loss by making a BRD (or especially MCH if we want to look at promotion) using tp regen.
