1. Start with 6 Monk.
2. Add some combination 14 levels of more Monk, Ranger, Fighter or Rogue.
3. Spend your Action Points in Ninja Spy, Deepwood Stalker, Arcane Archer, Racial Arcane Archer, Kensai, Assassin or Mech.
4. Win.
Actually, the core of any decent shuriken build is Shuriken Expertise feat + 3 monk (ANT) + 6 ranger (Sniper Shot + Imbues), 11 of whatever.
You might be able to sub Fighter for Ranger but you have to go into the higher Kensai tiers to get the useful activated attacks vs core 3 for Sniper Shot. Additionally, I remember some discussion about some of the Kensai stuff not working with thrown weapons but don't remember which and whether or not they were fixed.

How close is a thrower build to warlock for 1-20 R1 farming?
Id like the change but not if its too big...
Shuriken builds are extremely backloaded powerwise. They're "okay" in mid and lower heroics, but there are much better options. They become decent somewhere around level 12-15 depending on feat order. They become really strong at 20+.
Keep in mind that shuri builds are heavily reliant upon high dex and BAB, which is hard to get in useful amounts until epics. The destiny stuff like Whirling Wrists, Adrenalines, ranged power, SA die, etc. make a huge difference, too.
