Does the DMG from Protector's Stone (the XX% ED and the 10-30 + DMG) Affect Smite Damage?
It seems like the calculation on the stats Board doesn't show anything :-/

If it was only ed% it would, but its affected by the min/max/ed bug
yes, even if smite doesn't work with +min/max dmg

You're not aware of the bug?

Anytime enhanced damage is added after, or at the same time as min/max damage, it will glitch out any enhanced damage for that min/max on a non-weapon item.

Nope
Grief works

+min/max has never worked with smite, grief is +dmg
but even if +min/max would have somehow worked with smite, in an alternate universe, the fact that this jewel also has ed% on it is still bugging the dmg on non-weapons.

It's good in WF on a bowzon
but for other builds it's sadly only -dr/mf/gf/xp

You do benefit from the -DR
vs a target with 50%DR, if your smiter has -10DR from this jewel, it's still letting you deal 60% of your dmg instead of 50%
60/50=20% bonus dmg
or 10% bonus dmg vs targets with 0dr
