Transfer laying of hands out of 1.08

[Skullmster]

Hello everyone. So I was doing a "theoretical best" barb that could have existed on B.net. This has pluses and minuses. One of the minuses is that patch 1.07 was never on B.net. So I need to go with 1.08 for certain items, including laying of hands. In 1.08 it has 450% ed to demon compared to the 350% for the rest of the patches. I thought it had fire absorb 50%, but after finding one in 1.08, it seems that it is indeed fire resist like the rest of the patches as well. The issue is that every time I bring the character in a new patch, including 1.09 it changes the ED to 350%. Does anyone know of a patch that might work to forward the item to and have it keep the stat? Thank you in advance.

Ha I remember running into that years ago and doing the same thing. The reason why is prior to 1.09, %X damage to demons/undead displayed different, going off what the total damage would be rather than what it's adding. So the gloves are no different, they just display the stat different in that patch. "450% Damage to Demons" is displayed as "+350% Damage to Demons" in 1.09 (notice how there is no + in front of the 450).

Regarding true theoretical best, all the disabled crafting recipes in single player worked on battle.net, but allegedly required one extra item (any item) so some recipes didn't work, but most did. Thus, you could craft rings with skill points and cannot be frozen among others. The battle.net version of 1.08 was not the same version we have in single player, it's more like the 1.07.47/48 beta and had some better aspects to it.
