Sorry If this has already been asked but how well does pledge of hands work with this build?

Pledge isn't a good fit for the build imo. Mainly for these reasons:

Pledge is expensive, the build is intended to be cheap.

No real damage increase, the only benefit to dps is the 7-link.

There is not many support gems left that Incinerate benefits much from. Added Chaos/Faster Proj don't offer anything, the build has a tonne of proj speed and it scales elemental damage.

Less mana regen, this is the biggest downside to pledge in this build imo. 100% mana increase is useless since the build doesn't scale mana. +80% mana regen on wand/shield scales clarity unlike Pledge.

less life on gear, you lose out on shield. This also means less resistances.

160% spell damage is decent, but beatable with a wand/shield setup. No cast speed makes it worse imo.

The build makes no use of the extra 6-link. The 3-link setups you miss out on are really important already, clarity+BM / lightning warp+red duration has no where else to go.
