I sometimes pull with chant, and the blacksmithing option seems like a valuable alternative (especially in BW where there are groups of 4-5 skellies that aren't social), but I rely on good ol' punching. It's not the most efficient method, but I'm just about 55 now and my defense, dodge and offense are all 180+. Something that kiting bards struggle with is getting their skills up once they're a higher level. Twist in Hymn of Restoration (and later the Niv's something spell) along with Selo's and punch to pull!
