description of item Colossus is confusing

Colossus item description lists weapon damage and melee damage separately. This is confusing because for every other item in the game, weapon damage implies melee damage. The way the description should work is like this: 20% weapon damage, 10% melee damage. This means it continues to effectively give 30% melee damage because weapon damage implies melee damage.
 
Weapon damage is only half effective for melee, so something that gives +20% weapon damage only gives +10% melee damage. Items that add melee damage are fully effective, but they don't increase weapon damage overall. So from Colossus it gives +20% Weapon Damage (+10% Melee Damage) and then +20% Melee Damage for a total of +30% Melee Damage. If you change the description as you suggest, it would mean you only get +20% Melee Damage total.
