Which is better, the Frigid Fiddle or Arresting Aria?
I figure the FF can pin-point a target, where the AA picks a radon target, and I don't want to carry two items around that do basically the same thing. I would lean toward the FF since I can chose the target to freeze.

... means it does not target a group, it targets all monsters. The FF only targets one group.

One thing to be aware of, is that "all monsters" really means "all monsters in view". When your target is "group", it is all monsters in that group, as long as you can target the group, irregardless of whether you can actually see any of them.

It's always seemed to me that the FF works better than AA.
I don't know if its because the magic is more "concentrated"
with the one group, but FF will freeze a good percentage
of the targeted group, depending on type of monster and the
level you are playing at, whereas the AA may target all
monsters, but you only end up getting a few of them.

Once I get the FF, I sell off the AA.

I think this is more of a case that at the levels you first get both, you are playing the FF at with effect of level 7, and AA at about 3-4.

For the time being, I decided to keep the AA this time, and let my Bishop do the FF if needed. Besides, once you get deeper in the game most Monsters won't be affected by AA or FF. As with most items in this game, when you finally get them, your at the point of not needing them; and could of used them earlier in the game for the best use.
