Wepon Elemental Damage Discrimination regards towards Fortify Support gem

I don't understand why only (25-44)% increased Melee Physical Damage why not (25-44)% increased Melee Damage ?

There are countless melee build built purely on Elemental Weapon dmg like:
Hyaon's Fury
39–73 phy
1–(550 to 650) ele

Oro's Sacrifice
(425 to 475)–(550 to 600) fire


Doryani's Fist
Adds (225-335) to (785-900) Lightning Damage to Attacks while Unarmed

and others ....

Melee already benefits from huge tremendous amount of DMG boost from DMG converting like Hatred Herald of Ash also from some passive that also convert phy to fire or chaos . Or even unholy Might Phy to chaos dmg

On the other hand we have Weapons Elemental dmg that lack such kind of dmg boosts but which also have to spend a lot of gear and skill point to be able to have up Aura of Anger or Wrath that Boost Dmg by 1 k while hatred can boost up to 10k 20 k but also to have at least 1 aura that penetrates weponElemental Dmg .

I think Phy Melee build have much better scaling possibility by far compared to Elem Wep Dmg

Also Phy win at dmg reflect as Slayer Ascension can reduce that by 50 % and also you can use a cheap ring that add another 30 % less Phy Dmg


Phy By FAAAAAR is more OP and optional than Elem that why I think Fortify should add
(25-44)% increased Melee Damage than only Melee Physical Damage.
