The class restriction on voodoo doll causes horrid downstream effects. On alliance, every doll, except druid, is dirt cheap. Then there is paladin, costing 250-500g for a single doll. With far less people running ZG and even less doing voodoo piles its time to open the voodoo dolls up to any class. The current state is toxic for paladins (and I would assume shamans).
Alternatively, get rid of the doll requirement. This is just horrid for paladins players.
You are correct. Its the price for playing the popular classes… 1k gold to get helm/pants enchants. =(
Orr, picture this. You run ZG. You can even 5 man it now.
I do ZG… I had 3 idols saved up, but no doll drops. Lot’s of groups don’t even want to do the piles anymore.
I’ve ran ZG on CD in hopes for Tiger mount. I can count on one hand how many shaman dolls we’ve gotten.
Dang did I get lucky? One time after ZG, me a tank and healer farmed the piles and i got 1-2 shaman dolls. Didnt make money but saved me from buying them lol.
You really did. I had my guild buy my last two. I got one like a week or two ago for 225g. =(
You can do it solo

(just as addition to that video - you dont need to wait for piles to respawn, you can logout reset with alt or friend and do 5 such runs per hour)
lol shaman dolls have been that much for a while now.
funny enough druid dolls spiked for a bit too lol
