Here's my take on it. If you have a role picked out that
will work for either an elf or an arial and are just looking
at strengths etc...:

Elf: Autosneak is nice for entering/fleeing rooms. Their dex
is above average so parrying and dodging works quite well. Their
high int makes practicing and training easier. Their weakness to
iron isn't too bad especially if they can't hit you because of dodge,
parry etc... They can be a pain to play since they have low strength
and very little con. The lack of hp can be a nuisance.

Arial: Flight is nice against tripping and can get you to places others
normally can't go. The high dex and int make training and defense similar
to an elf, from what I've seen the defense of an arial is a bit better.
The vulnerabilty to water and lightning are a huge problem against conjurers
and right now there are quite a few of them. Invokers also, will be a pain.
There are quite a few nice items underwater so if you want them you'll either
have to find someone to get them for you or find somebody to kill.

Overall, if you're not worried about conjurers, try an arial. I've played a sword
spec and they're tough. Just watch out for the lightning. Even with a blue dragon
hide lightning hurts like bad.

I wouldn't base your race on watching Dhaevor or Gelkof unless you are on par with them
as a player. They know the game well and were both ragers and resist makes a difference.
