Which is better in PvP/PvE?

Gnome Mages are small, which gives them the advantage to not get seen when casting spells.
Gnome Mages have a good escaping pattern, but I wouldn't escape too much with this little strong dude. And Gnome Mages might be very small, but somehow they're great as Mages.

Dwarf Mages are taller, which doesn't give much advantage at sight seeing, however they do have a spell that finds treasure (and shows where the treasure on your mini-map) which is one advantage of collecting gold. And Dwarves are resistant to Cold Magic, as I'm reading here, or maybe you can say Frost Magic.

So, in your opinion, which should I make?

I believe Gnomes now get 5% extra Mana (Used to be INT, but I think they changed it) which is pretty darn good at later levels.

Dwarfs get a bonus to Archaeology now instead of the find treasure. It's pretty nice, but I'd go for the extra mana / int from being a Gnome.

Dwarves all the way, I myself don't play either but gnomes I just can't stand and in terms of them being seen theres really no difference, the height/appearance of your characters doesnt really apply in this game in terms of strategy, in the end you'll still have your name floating above your head that everyone else will be able to see lol
