How do you play/succeed as a melee bard?

How do bards solo in extremely tight quarters where kiting isn't an option? For example, geodes in Crystal Caves (Velious)?

A lot of very small rooms still allow for some amount of kiting, but if you have absolutely no space you could stack dots on a mob and then charm it. For the 12 seconds that it's charmed it can't hit you and you can spend that time healing yourself. I used this to solo FG's although it can be a bit tedious.
