Gun Booster becomes important... basically when you're like 130+. The skill Shuriken MASTER (not Precise Pitch) is good. It's a staple in the Fox life. Seeing as you are only level 33, just restart before you become attached and have to some money to "heal" your problem.
WhatNot2Learn102:
Gun Booster was a luxury skill, no more, no less. True, it shaves off about 9 HV that you don't have to worry about from whatever you're hitting, but:

1) You'd probably find that your hit rate wasn't so bad to begin, in which case balancing 20 AC with 25 TM doesn't really make much sense.

2) Monster HV took a nosedive after Revo. You can get by without the skill for training and bossing purposes.

3) 20 AC in the grand scheme of things won't help you much--if at all--in PvP/GvG. You could have been learning Shuriken Master for a little more than half the TM of all the points needed for a mastered Booster. The most important skills for melee foxes in the beginning and mid-game are Stone Strike, Shuriken Master, and Sixth Sense. Comboability and damage. Hit rate's just something you'll have to put up with, and even pre-Revo, hit rate wasn't that bad. It was just a bunch of whiny people going "Oh ***s! I can't tough it out because I need to see PWNAGE every millisecond I play!" Aside from that, Lucky Seven and Aura of Luck are luxuries, although they have a lot more use than a measly 20 AC buff that doesn't grow as you grow. Landmine is a useful--albeit situational--skill. Pouch is a no-no for most foxes, although I'll concede that Heavy Carrier is nice (HC is a luxury, as well). Your debuffs are all luxuries. Invincible Drill, Basic Detect, and Item Detect are all luxuries.

In other words, work the core, (Stone, Shuri, Sixth, Lucky, including Armor Destructor lvl 1 in its calculations), then prioritize the luxuries from there. Prioritizing the luxuries should be based on what you want to do.
