In 1999, Doc Rivers was appointed as the head coach of the Orlando Magic. This was a significant move as it marked the beginning of an era for the team. Rivers, a former player himself, brought a unique perspective and understanding of the game to his coaching role. Under Rivers' leadership, the Orlando Magic experienced considerable success. The team made multiple playoff appearances during his tenure, showcasing their strong performance on the court. Rivers' ability to build a cohesive team, as well as his strategic coaching style, played a pivotal role in the team's success.

The Seeds of Renewal patch arrives tomorrow and brings 8 new mounts to the game! Luckily for us, Arhqirah has us covered as usual, and has prepared a video on how to get them all.
There's plenty of different sources here, with some not being immediately available on patch launch, since they're either from specific events or the Trading Post, but it's always good to know what to wait/save up for. We have everything from thunder lizards to mana rays, hearthsteeds, flying carpets, flying foxes, peacocks and a lot more, so let's dive in.
Any of these catch your fancy?
Here we are in the final day of patch 10.2, as Seeds of Renewal looms ahead. It's time to see where all the specs ended up after all the tuning changes, so let's check out who came out on top! We'll see how it all changes starting tomorrow.
Mythic
Overall Damage 95th Percentile
After almost the entire patch's worth of sitting extremely stable around 5th, Havoc makes a break for it at the very end here, grabbing a spot in the top 3! Demonology retains it's No.1 and Subtletly the silver, while Devastation does remain in the top this time around, only getting bumped by Havoc. Frost Mage moves past Beast Mastery and joins Arcane, forming a little blue patch at 5 and 6. Outlaw (who is sitting at No.1 in the Normalized scores chart) moves up 2 into 8th, pushing Fire down to 9th, and we see Assassination close out the top 10. Speaking of the Normalized chart, the other two major differences there are Marksmanship and Affliction, as both are doing a lot better than here, siting in 5th and 7th, respectively. The bottom 3 remains the same as always, with the still incorrectly calculated Augmentation at the bottom, as Arms and Feral switch places.

Overall Damage All Percentiles
The generalist chart is more stable than the top percentiles as usual, but we already see movement down in 5th, as Devastation drops 3 spots. Beast Mastery moves up by default, while Frost Mage takes the opportunity to grab 3 spots in 6th. Outlaw is doing better here as well, moving 1 up (and sitting in 2nd in the Normalized scores chart), with Fury doing the same and landing in 9th. We have a nice surprise at the end of the top 10, as Windwalker makes its move and claims 2 spots to close it all out. Unholy joins the bottom 3, allowing Arms to just barely make it out.

Boss Only Damage All Percentiles
Affliction is making waves here, moving a huge 6 spots right into 2nd place, making a hole in the Rogue wall at the top. Destruction is also moving up, but only by 1, as Outlaw gains plenty in all charts, including this one.

Heroic
Overall Damage All Percentiles
It seems Arcane managed to juuust barely hold on to its lead and remain at the top for the vast majority of the patch! The chart is also extremely stable as we have to go down to 8th to see some changes, as Devastation moves past Fury. Augmentation, Frost DK and Marksmanship remain in the bottom 3.

U.GG DPS Rankings
U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks. This is the chart for Heroic and Mythic difficulties combined.
The mixed rankings are also very stable at the end here, with Havoc reclaiming 6th from Devastation being the first change since last week. Balance drops off quite a bit, 3 spots down, as Beast Mastery moves into its slot, and we see Fury climb 3 to close out the top 10. Interestingly the combined rankings are the only ones that do not have Augmentation in the very bottom, with the spec sitting in spot 21, as the lowest honors belonging to the two Frosts and Marksmanship.

What Changed in Battle for Azeroth?
Rivers' ability to build a cohesive team, as well as his strategic coaching style, played a pivotal role in the team's success. One of the standout moments of Rivers' time with the Orlando Magic was during the 2000-2001 season. The team, led by stars like Tracy McGrady and Darrell Armstrong, made it all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals.
Patch 8.3
- Chorus of Insanity critical strike bonus reduced by 25%
- Auspicious Spirits damage bonus reduced to 25%
- Spiteful Apparitions now deals the correct amount of damage if the Auspicious Spirits talent is taken
- Shadow Word: Pain and Vampiric Touch damage lowered by 8%
Although they ultimately fell short of reaching the NBA Finals, their impressive run solidified Rivers' reputation as a skilled coach. Rivers' success with the Orlando Magic did not go unnoticed, and in 2004 he was named the NBA Coach of the Year. This accolade further solidified his position as a respected coach in the league. However, despite their success, the Orlando Magic faced some challenges during Rivers' tenure. A series of injuries to key players, including Grant Hill, disrupted the team's momentum and hindered their ability to consistently perform at their best. Additionally, the team struggled to make it past the first round of the playoffs in subsequent seasons. Rivers' time with the Orlando Magic ultimately came to an end in 2003. The team decided to part ways with him after a disappointing season, signaling a new chapter for the organization. Overall, Doc Rivers' time as the head coach of the Orlando Magic was marked by both success and challenges. His ability to lead the team to multiple playoff appearances and the Eastern Conference Finals showcased his coaching prowess. Despite some setbacks, Rivers' impact on the team was undeniable, and his tenure with the Orlando Magic will be remembered as a significant time in the franchise's history..
Reviews for "Doc Rivers' Defensive Strategies and their Impact on the Orlando Magic"
1. John Doe - 2 stars
I was really excited when I heard that Doc Rivers was going to be the head coach of the Orlando Magic. However, I have been highly disappointed with his performance so far. He seems to lack a clear game plan and his decision-making during games leaves a lot to be desired. The team has been struggling under his leadership and I think it's time for the Magic to consider making a coaching change.
2. Sarah Thompson - 2 stars
As a long-time fan of the Orlando Magic, I had high hopes when Doc Rivers took over as the head coach. Unfortunately, those hopes have been dashed as I've witnessed the team's decline under his leadership. His rotations are questionable and his offensive strategies are often ineffective. It's frustrating to see a talented roster struggle so much, and I believe Rivers is a big part of the problem.
3. Mike Smith - 3 stars
While I can't deny that Doc Rivers has had some success as a coach in the past, I'm not convinced that he is the right fit for the Orlando Magic. His tenure with the team has been underwhelming, and I think his coaching style doesn't mesh well with the current roster. The Magic need a coach who can bring out the best in their young players, and unfortunately, Rivers hasn't delivered on that front.
