Trying to make sense of new tooltip for Necrotic orb

I noticed that the tooltip for Necrotic orb changed today. It used to say it did 360 magic damage (X amount based on Max magica) to nearby enemies but now it says it does 2500 Generic damage to nearby enemies plus of course the damage from activating the synergy. As far as I can tell the actual ability is working exactly the same, the orb moves forward zapping all enemies 3-4 times before it floats past them but it certainly doesn't seem like it's hitting for any more than before. So if it's zapping a single target that's typically 3x360 and for groups its the number of enemies as "Y"x3x360. So I'm not sure where the Devs are pulling out the 2500 Generic number from now. Anyone have any info on what the new tooltip means?

    Maybe it is the damage it would do if every zap hit 1 enemy during the full duration.
