1.d4 - Beat the Guerrillas: A Powerful Repertoire Against Annoying Black Sidelines by Valeri Bronznik 2011. I've found it especially useful for online blitz where you see the Budapest, Albin or Englund gambit so often.

shield wall clear speed?

Question for anyone who has taken a shield wall build deep into the endgame - how is the clear speed compared to other builds like ice shot, whirling assault, spark, etc? I'm thinking of trying shield wall + nebuloch mace in 0.5.5 for bossing, but concerned that mapping is going to be too slow. Is something like Herald of Fire or Witch Hunter Zealous Inquisition a must-have for clear? Thanks
