Most skills evolve into a stronger D2 skill. Take the skill to its max level, learn the passive it pairs with, and reach the evolved skill's hero level: the next chest you open evolves it, replacing the skill in its slot.
Recipes by class
DPS gain compares the evolved skill at its max level with the skill it comes from at its max, for a new hero without gear.
