Cannot beat GR level 45 and up anymore

Hello. I play on Nintendo Switch. I used to be able to beat GR45-50 with so much ease. The highest GR I’ve beaten was 56. Cannot beat 57 yet, but almost. I’ve beaten 45 and 50 over a dozen times. Now I can’t even beat 45. This started happening after I switched gears. I tried using Gears of Dreadlands (all 6 items). Sure, I got unlimited hatred so I can do non-stop strafe, but I noticed that my damage was greatly reduced and I cannot even beat GR 45 anymore. So I switched back to my original gear, but the damage remained mediocre. Here are my items:

As you can see, I have very high damage and critical hit chance. I used to be able to kill monsters in GR50 with ease. Now even Strafe or Rapid Fire barely deal any damage. Any ideas?

Maybe you should replace one of your legendary gems with Legacy of Dreams. :man_shrugging:t2:

Yes, thank you. That was the key. I forgot that I moved Lecacy of Dreams to my follower’s ring, and used another legendary (Gem of Efficacious Toxin) gem as replacement. Now I can beat GR 45 in under 7 minutes again.
