I spam whistle 1 to heal myself at the expense of most of my mana because it gets me through to level up. I don't use heal while fighting the explore minions because I have weak heals and I find it better just to focus on killing them asap.
At what % do you just salvation to heal yourself? I usually wait for at least 100 but then again, I went salvation and retribution evenly so my salvation heals weren't that good + I have it as a secondary charm.
Yes, I believe I must go to 77 for the MQ. I'm currently at 72 and I don't have the MQ available to me.
And yes, my strength charm is quite nice so I don't know if taking a heal as a main charm would be that good, I'd need a really good EE heal charm I guess.
My main goal while solo climbing is magic find so I don't really care that much about GPs but rather on killing mobs.
I don't see the point in whistling level 1 and healing unless you are prof hunting using lower tier heals (as suggested by others in this post). If you are using this method, then it is more than likely no point using much points in salvation and concentrate on Retribution for kill speed.
Due to Hardcore game play, we keep our hit points around 60-90% full, so we tend to heal more often during the fight, I use salvation charge around 75% charge and above, if using Wild heal I can go with 50% charge sometimes... remember that my 55 Wild is only 57% enhanced effect which is on main because it also has 30 strength... maybe this is a type of heal you could look for and exchange your strength charm or make other trades and keep both, just for testing.
My salvation ability points used until I get around 70%, currently running a Guardian this time instead of my Samurais and Paladins just to test out how much Retribution is good to have. There are two things different about a Guardian... lower Str (30) / Dex (10) but higher Intelligence (55) So this will have less damage, but higher mana and healing capacity.
It looks as if you may want to test more for your game play... also test out healing in combat more than relying on whistle level 1 unless it is needed.
EDIT: healing during combat can also give your Retribution time to charge up to use.
