I am 59 on my bard currently and I have very some high-end melee gear. Melee is an option but it's not particularly optimal. I mostly do it for fun. the best strategy is to charm one monster than have it fight another similar monster and use your abilities to keep them even in health. for pure melee, you will find yourself stuck fighting very low-level monsters since we lack double attack and some defensive skills we are less effective. I use a combination of slowing the mob to reduce incoming damage and hasting myself when I melee but it's not as good as a pure melee class. THe bright side is while we take a bit more damage if you swap to a lute in between fights we can recover faster than other melee classes for the next one.

As a 60 bard with no raid gear, I can fear/kite kill Yeldema in ~11 minutes, I'd imagine it takes a necro 8 for comparison. Not to mention, no downtime on bard, also I can selo speed and say pull Gafala before the necro was even back to full mana. So yes, fear kiting on bard, is completely viable and one way out of many that a bard can solo and make money.
