Does this also apply to veil's damage buff? Seems like passive damage is rather pointless. If veil or pet damage replaces the passive damage.

According to how they have it coded, the SINGLE most Potent Buff or Debuff is used as a multiplier. So I believe SV also applies in this case since SV is a buff. So I'm guessing when you walk into the smoke it will be either used or override and when you walk out of it, it will use your previous highest modifier.
Hmmm.. I am switching to crit passive instead of damage passive after reading all of this. )

RETIRED for now...
The implications of this are incredible!
That makes Archon ring's 2.5% buff useless. It nearly eliminates any benefit from % based passives, and it severely devalues % modifiers coming from your pets.
Basically, top % modifier wins, regardless of where it comes from.
I am very, very curious about Shadow Veil, and the buffs we are supposed to get from it. If the same biggest value wins premise applies, then the boost from Veil is minimized as well.
I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around the ripple effects that this revelations has on me...
Looks like a respec is coming the next time I log in! Just when I thought I was solid.

I want to thank null_void for explaining this. It is truly a rare event when a Dev is willing to explain the internal mechanics of the game. Especially in cases like this where the ramifications are significant.
Hopefully the community can accept these facts and move on without having to rage over it.
PS - Feel free to throw some plat my way because I wasted several elixirs and several hundred pots compiling all this data :-P

I hope there are plans to change this. This is super unacceptable. I won't even say what else I'm thinking.
Oh no, I don't want him fired. He seems to be the honest one and the one who knows how the game is designed. They aren't required to tell us how the game works; however, when we can't see how much damage we are actually doing on our avatar screens because it's been "bugged" and they using damage percent as a selling point on plat pets when they know that it's useless if u have two rogues rotating veil is dishonest.
this is mind blowing - very frustrating!
but this does not seem to apply to %exp increase.. I seem to rmemeber getting 800 exp from wt4 runs when flly stacked up on exp lix.. while normally i'd get about 400 only.. but this was from testing 2 or 3 seasons ago. anyone can confirm?
The toeless smurf!
This certainly changes the way I'll be playing from now on. I wasn't even specializing in passive damage, speed, armor or crit so this won't change my build. The impact of this discovery is minimal for non mythic/arcane pet users since the same individuals are the ones most likely running on elixirs a lot more often.
Thank you kali for bringing this up and no_void for explaining.
