Just keep it intimidated, that'll lower the damage it deals you. Also melee damage mitigation helps a great deal when tanking

When tanking High level mobs it's important to keep them both intimidated and stunned... stunning the krayt lowers its secondary defences which means that it will drop "faster"

From what I am to understnd, swordsman and pikeman can tank damn near anyting the same (except elders and there 100% kietic 
) Pikeman actually get alot more defenses and same speed +75 with master +80 with master brawler. Only differace is the MHS gets more toughness than we do but I dont know how much affect taht has

When I am saying tank, I mean completely soling the mob. you should not have any problem doing it

any melee class could go mano a mano with a melee MOB, just means they cant do any damage to the MOB, and your also less likely to die if ur a tka again an elder since your not doing your special moves to kill yourself

No player should have to kill himself using specials. Buffs negate any Health and Action cost you might have. Foods/entertainer buffs can negate or at least lower the Mind costs substantially. 2 Brandies and an Ahrisa should get your focus and willpower high enough to lower Mind costs so that you can regrow your mind.
Altho not everyone has migrated their stats to mind ofcourse. Those players might indeed have some troubles with the mindcosts

1) Polearm counter attack/evasion is not working stats. Removed in beta
2) Intimidate will stick and is recommended, but stun and almost all other state effects other than intimidate is impossible to stick on a high-level mob (might work on juvenile but sure not on Giant Canyon Krayt)

Haven't seen a stun land on any high level mob. So intimidate is your best friend
