Build Help: Boomerangs

Hi everyone,
I'm back after...jeez, months, and have jumped back in by rolling a new character. I like wacky themes, so I thought I would start with a boomerang-themed character.
Fortunately for me, Ricochet Throw is apparently completely broken in a good way, so leveling has been a breeze so far. I was wondering if anyone had any tips for the below build? My only attack is ricochet throw, and I've been using the on-next-hit powers from Gadgets to simulate different "trick" boomerangs. I was rummaging through the powersets looking for any other on-next-hit effects, but I couldn't find any.
In all other respects, I copied a Quarry-based archery build. I think.
Any feedback would be much appreciated; I don't really know what I'm doing.
Thanks,
sean

Granted, once you leave stealth your defenses are less than Quarry provides (I imagine) as would be your flat damage increase (again, I suspect)... but it shouldn't matter because when you leave stealth, having fired a fully charged Ricochet Shot... there won't BE any foes to fight!
The build looks pretty good the way it is, though. You could always squeeze Night Warrior in as an ~extra~ passive --- just do a Build-Swap to Quarry after you break stealth.
