After receiving 25% of a secondary stat from gear, increasingly more rating to increase another % from that gear

Example: 25% -35%: 10% penalty, up to 49-106%, 40% penalty. Capped at 106%.

Maldraxxus: decent story, very straightforward

Bastion: more engaging than I thought the first time around, but still not interesting by comparison
