Weapon Sets and Jewels

Moving this from the PoE general discussion forum:

I didn't see any information about this, so I'm posting as a question or notice for anyone else that runs into this. As of right now, only passive skill points (not weapon set passive (WSP?) skill points) can be used to allocate jewel sockets. Typically, this flies under the radar as the number of WSP points is low.

But, I found myself limited in my build options when playing as a Witchhunter using the Weapon Master ascendancy passive. Due to the centrality of jewel sockets, it's difficult to create two very different builds using the ascendancy passive without making undesirable paths *around* the jewel sockets since you can't allocate to them. I'm wondering if this is by design, and if so, if there's any hope for it to be changed.

The way I see it, much like the passives themselves, the jewels could be conditionally active when the weapon set tree they're a part of is active.

Thoughts?

Witchhunter should have this thing exclusively, like can allocate jewel sockets and maybe even keystone passives with weapon set points
