Nothing too earth shattering, but I'm playing around with this build at lvl 21

5 empathy
1 res
5 force shield
6 transference
3 pain

I'm not completely in agreement with you guys that pain is worthless yet. It seems to help a lot with the large mobs (like in motherload) that can't be killed instantly. If anything, it keeps them stunned for a few seconds while the smaller mobs are taken out. Just my 2c
