How can I improve the odds of upgrading rares via Kanai's Cube or gambing at Kadala for a particular legendary?
I know that due to the way Kadala works you are much more likely to see set items that are for your class, as opposed to other classes, when gambling.
How does smart loot play into cubing or Kadalaing?
How does this work for normal legendaries?
For example is it better to attempt to roll a Magefist from a mage compared with a monk? Would I have an easier chance using the cube and farmed death's breaths and upgrading rares?

Yes, this has to do with the smart loot system Diablo uses. If you want to get an idea of how many shards you'd have to gamble in order to get an item, you can try your hand at this Kadala simulator.
Another thing is now that you have access to Kanai's Cube, you can take all your yellows, and try to gamble them to upgrade them to a specific legendary. This approach is best when there is only a few potential outcomes, such as a polearm or a wand.
However, based on your question, it's important to note that if you roll an item on one class, it will have stats FOR THAT CLASS instead of the one you're attempting to loot share on. In which case, you can reroll the stats on that item utilizing the cube on the appropriate character.

It takes a rare (yellow) and upgrades it to either a legendary or set item. It can also roll ancient fit either of those. When you get your cube, one of the recipes is upgrading a rare item to "legendary" - it will create a "legendary" of the exact same type of item.Upgrade Rare \u0026 Reforge: How to use your Crafting Materials wisely (Diablo 3)
