Can someone explain Daedric Curse to me?

Is this a nerf or a buff to sorc in PvP? I'm confused, because:

This damage can no longer be blocked

But later they say:

In addition, we're removing some remnant balance behavior of the skill being unable to be blocked

So which is it?

(a) It could be blocked before, but now it can't?
(b) It could not be blocked before, but now it can?

B, as far as I understand it.

I think it might be a typo in the first instance as it has never been blockable.

Hi All, just to clarify that was a typo. We have amended the patch note to read as follows:

Daedric Curse:
This ability and its morphs now deal their full damage in an area around the cursed enemy, rather than dealing full damage to the cursed enemy and half damage in an area around them.

This damage can now be blocked, as this feature was never messaged on the ability and is not considered a Damage over Time, nor is its damage-based on other damaging events.
