Beat the Wharf finally. I was super-nervous about the boss but in the end I was fine. Rolled up the next area and now I've parked for some White Phantom goodness -- apparently there's more to this level than I thought.

My setup right now is the Double Dragon shield as essentially my primary weapon -- I start out most fights in tank mode (this is as a phantom, or with phantom backup). Got a bastard sword in the right, and some pretty serious miracle damage coming from the left. The idea being, when that moment comes, I've got crazy burst-damage to take advantage of openings. Wearing Alva armor (I should beef up a bit, but I don't have the equip load space if I want my <70 roll) with a Heide helmet, which looks pretty tight -- that's I guess important to me.
