A quick question about this paragon path. The prerequisites for this are: Ranger and two-blade fighting style.

I have a pc who runs a cleric and would like to take Warrior of the Wild feat, which allows you to become a ranger for purposes of qualifying for paragon path. My question is about the two-blade fighting style. Does the feat b/c it qualifies you for paragon paths hand-wave this requirement away?

No. Multiclass rangers don't have a fighting style, so they can't take the paragon path.

Kordeth is right but IMO it is not game breaking at all to allow the cleric to take the m/c feat then take the path. Especially as the cleric will have to use 2 off hand or a one hander and an off hand with his/her paragon path 2 wep fighting powers (11th and 20th). Also the cleric will be able to use hunters quarry only once per encounter, thus gaining the +1d6 against demons only once or twice.

I thought it might not allow it b/c of the fighting style requirement. I would have to agree I don't see it being game breaking and it fits the character concept that the player has worked up, so to take an idea from 3.x Rule 0 it is for me. So he can have fun with his rivalry w/ a minor demon in town and I can have fun w/ that rivalry as well.

...and he/she will also need quick draw as well, for swapping between 1 or 2 weps and implement/holy symbol

Not so for a cleric. Clerics and paladins need only be wearing their holy symbols to benefit from them as implements.

Or even be using one of the many Holy Symbol weapons

I didn't pick that one up! Thanks guys, the cleric PC in my campaign might well be changing a feat then

It is pretty nonsensical for rangers to be the only class whose PP's remain inaccessible to characters with the proper multiclass feat (all of the PHB ranger paragon paths also have weapon style requirements). I thought it was in the FAQ's somewhere that the MC feat qualifies you for Ranger PP's but i can't find it (the faq's that is). I've seen many people claim that officials of some sort have stated this. Even if no one has, its still the best choice, since there is nothing so special about rangers that make their PP's inaccessible to others.

I think it's completely fair to simply eliminate all Fighting Style requirements from the Ranger paragon paths in general.

I honestly don't get why they're there in the first place. I don't see that they serve any real balance purpose, since Ranger PPs tend to be much less useful to the non-recommended fighting styles. I can't imagine a two-weapon Ranger picking Battle Archer, for instance.
