Racking in 1.07 vs 1.08 and 1.12

I've been playing 1.07 on and off for a good while, and I was wondering if I should make a racker in 1.08 just for the sake of racking instead of using my 1.07 sorc.

Basically why I don't know if I should is because I am not certain that it works exactly as it does in 1.07?
The odds of getting an unique, set or rare though is increased as it is well documented but it got me wondering since that nobody talks about 1.08 when they are racking why nobody actually just use 1.08 to rack?

Doesn't 1.08 allow all items that 1.07 did to drop on racks or what? Or is people not bothering lvling a new character in 1.08 just for the sake of racking?

If there are any differences at all, please enlighten me. I would like to know before I go ahead with a 1.08 sorcs.

On the other side, in 1.12 what is the odds of getting the unique, set or rare item on a rack?

Thanks.

For me its pretty simple: I can find crazy damage charms while racking in 1.07 LK. The little increase in chance of finding uniques doesn't make 1.08 a better place for me.

1.12 has much better odds of finding uniques from racks, but Meph (or any other popular mf target) is that much better over a longer period of time.

Btw - you can just bring forward some of your 1.07 characters if you decide to play 1.08 for some reason.

I see, well thanks.

I guess I will start racking in 1.08 instead. Get a high frw/fcr sorcs and start racking.

Chance of set from rack in 1.07 1/250, 1/200 in 1.08.
For uniques it's 1/1000 in 1.07 vs. 1/800 in 1.08

I have a rack in 1.12 LK that regularly drops barb hats. So far I've got a couple of IK and Arreat's hats.

It all depends on how you approach the rack.
