Druids and calculation of Stamina Bonus in Dire Bear Form

Hi all - hoping someone can clear this up for me. My Druid has a base
STA of 64 without any gear. When switching to Dire Bear, base STA goes
up to 80 - this makes sense as it's exactly a 25% increase. However,
what doesn't make sense is the additions from gear:

i have +38 STA from my gear and I have Survival of the Fittest lvl 2
(2% increase to all stats) for a total of +39 STA from gear. I would
expect the 25% Dire Bear bonus to then be applied to my gear STA
giving me +48 STA for a total STA in DireBear form of (80 + 48 = 128).

However, my total STA is reported as 148. The only way I can back
calculate this is to apply a 25% increase to the combined total of my
Dire Bear Adjusted base and gear STA, e.g. (80+39 = 119; 119 *1.25 =
148). This would mean that the 25% increase to STA is applied twice,
essentially, first to your base statistics and then to the combination
of your base stats plus any gear add ons.

To simplify this problem, i've not included any STA increases due to
enchanting, or armor kits or the like. Any help anyone give to shed
some light on this would be most appreciated - thanks

Yea, it adds 25% to the number shown in the char pane when in caster
form. so if you have 100 STA in castor, you will have 125 STA in DB
