Previous unique iterations (versus runewords)

Description

I think sometimes, what if we had the previous OP versions of unique items BACK in the current build of D2R? Would they be on par, or even outclass the runeword meta? I'm thinking about

Arkaine's Valor,

Harlequin Crest, &

Valkyrie Wing to name but a few which received subsequent nerfs by the devs.

Can be used to make Runewords:
