It is arguably fair that they removed the exploit but it does mean the class doesn't really have much reason to exist over a standard Fighter/Cleric multi or dual. You level more slowly as a Ranger, you're limited to half-elf if you're going for the multi which means you lose out on some nice racial bonuses, and you don't get Grandmastery if you go for the dual-class. You really don't get very much in exchange, so it's kind of been demoted to RP class.

But on the flipside I suppose when the exploit was still around it made Fighter/Druids pretty redundant, so...
