At risk of being perhaps being trolled I'll give as honest an answer as I can....use any of the hundred flavors of thrower that suits your fancy.

Only thing you're missing is past life benefits, none of which are required for any decently built thrower.  By decently built, I mean, CON is not a dump stat, CON is not a dump stat, CON is not a dump stat.

Yeah, you'll be more powerful with the complete panopoly of past life benefits, but what builds don't benefit from a bit more power?

As for worries about not doing too much damage, I offer the same advice to new archer players, focus on the whole picture, not just you throwing shit downrange.  Bring something more to the table then "can you rez me again pl0x?"  Trap skills, Use Magic Device, self-healing via CSW potions/wands/possible spells depending on your chosen flavor of thrower.

This game is not as challenging as some think it is.  The fact you're going through the effort of reading an unofficial forum shows you have enough brains to read some of the discussions here about throwers and adjust as needed for a hero with no past lives.

If your thrower is in trouble early game (often) stop kiting, cowboy up and melee so the rest of the party can gang up on what's attacking you.

Additional tip: ranger elemental imbues (not core imbues) work on thrown weapons.  You just have to imbue with a bow first, then swap to your throwing weapon. 

Together with a simple ML:2 screaming/bleeding thrown weapon of your choice (shuriken or you're doing it wrong imo...but that's opinion), you'll be pumping out at least 4 columns of damage, which is plenty enough even without past lives of ranger and zero epic PLs.

Have you played a Monkcher before? Do you want to full time throw or hybrid with a bow for more damage? Do you like activbe play with lots of clicking and button combos? Or do you mostly just want to hold down the attack button and watch a zillion pretty numbers scroll all the time?

General thrower-build question: is the DPS consistent, or is this one of those things where you have to manage a bunch of cooldowns and only get good DPS when the stars are alligned and venus is in retrograde?
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

I would go with 5fS build then, it's the definition of high sustained but sub optimal burst thrower build. It will be lots of fun to play and very powerful, but it will kill bosses a little more slowly, especially when solo'ing. If you don't do much LE solo'ing, you probs wont even notice.
