World of Warcraft – Court of Stars Mythic +25 Achieved Before Proposed Battle Res Changes Added

For the first time, the Court of Stars dungeon has been defeated at Mythic +25. The team that accomplished the feat consisted of a Demon Hunter tank, Druid healer, and a Warlock, Druid and Monk in DPS roles.
