stat boost items ie.. stat cape and gembox

[flesymtsoli]

i noticed that when using the gembox and hp+stat cape that the increase of stats doesnt help with the learning of spells it only helps with wearable items which i felt is a bug since i use priest and wizard main source of damage is spells just wondering if this is a bug or if it was intended to be this way....?

I think it's meant to be this way. It's the same in most MMORPGS for wizard types, you need to have the REAL attributes added in order to learn the spells.

edit: I can tell you what to do in beta though, add the points for the spell, learn it, then stats reset and put enough stats along with gembox.
For example spell needs 175 int 75 WS(just an example)
You add those stats then learn it and then stats reset.
Now you add 155 int and 55 WS and put on 2x gembox of glory and you will have 175 and 75 GREEN int/ws, but you will be able to cast the spell anyway.

99% sure that's a bug... or changed on this server 'cause on NR I made a whole WIS/PS set to learn power of pray on my warrior and I could only us it with the WIS/PS rares/rings on and it let me learn the spells. I just couldn't cast them while I didn't meet the stat requirements.
