The infinite mana bug

Infinite mana sounds like a good thing to me (I always did love fighting Vaelastraz), but this odd game behavior has to be a bug. There seems to be different speculation about what causes it, with some posters on Lurker Lounge suggesting it's a bug involving the priests' Divine Spirit buff. But whatever the cause, it was still in the game prior to today's maintenance, though I can't find any confirmation on whether it's still occuring. Reader Louies, who sent in this video, says that a GM replied this was a known issue which can currently be fixed by relogging.

I experienced it a few times in the beta, and there weren't any priests nearby, nor was I buffed by a priest during that playtime.
Happened in Terokkar too, strangely. Fun bug, though. Loved not having to sit and drink.

Happened to me last night in Uldaman - lvl 46 Mage. Mana never dipped for about 10 mins, and then was back to normal. Never made it to a boss fight though, would have been fun to blast away without worries.

I'm really digging this track, can anyone post the name?

Yes, let's all contact GMs and let them know we can cast mobs into oblivion with no down time so that they can fix it......nice.

Of course we would. It's called playing fair, If you want to hack, go back to CounterStrike.

I got the bug last week in Nagrand and I've got to say that it was incredibly fun. Instead of taking full advantage of the bug and questing I decided to gank every single Horde I saw.
Let's just say that a well geared Ret Paladin with an endless supply of mana can go for a LONG time against multiple opponents without having any trouble whatsoever :D

@4 - whilst levelling my BE rogue in Searing Gorge my Adrenaline Rush appeared to bug out and for 3 happy hours I maintained double energy regen, 40 per tick. Just to give hope to all energy users out there, we too can get endless regen bugs of a sort.

I have a 63 UD Priest and was in Hellfire doing a quest when I got the bug...I was blasting away and after the mob went down I looked at my mana real quick to see if I needed a drink and it was fully loaded - mwahahahahaha! I kept blasting away and managed to down most of my quota before I had to drink again =)
