It was nerfed in 1.0 Hotfix #6 the following ways:

Stun duration reduced to 0.6s from 0.8s.
Jewel that allows you to recast, damage reduced from 25 - 50% to 15 - 30% and knockback effect power reduced by ~25%.
Jewel increasing stun duration reduced from 0.2 - 0.4s to 0.1 - 0.3s.
Jewel granting immaterial, duration reduced from 0.8 - 1.6s to 0.8 - 1.2s

It was nerfed further in the 1.1 Update the following ways:

The immaterial jewel was removed.
Targets triggering the counter are no longer subjected to the stun or knockback effect if they're immaterial when the trigger happens. Static is still inflicted.
The recast jewel now inflicts a fading snare rather than knockback (no longer interrupting casts).

History

Discharge was initially released during V Rising's first expansion, Secrets of Gloomrot, on May 17th, 2023.
It was unlocked by slaying Henry Blackbrew the Doctor. It had a cooldown of 9s and the following effect:

“

Block melee and projectile attacks for up to 1.5s. Turn immaterial and travel to cursor location when an attack is blocked.
Passing through an enemy deals 50% magic damage, inflicts Static and launches the target into the air for 3s.

”

In the 1.0 Update it would receive a rework into its current iteration.
