WIthout any speed tapes, and pretty good armor (along with a pretty good scythe), what kind of things can a plain master swordsman tank, and solo?

Gorax are pretty much comparable to Giant Canyon Krayts

The Gorax I faught recently had much lower resists than a Giant Krayt but much the same ham of around 450k - blast was around 30% resist as opposed to the krayts blast resist which I think is currently 70%

A gorax isnt that hard really. I am master brawler but it only has 30% blast so with a decent power hammer and a good lord of time 300k-450k ham will go down sooner or later (maybe later)

Ive soloed Giant Dune Kimo's easily...as long as its kept Intimidate2'd then the only bad thing is the full black bars of HAM due to the lovely diseases.
All Krayts can be tanked...including the Ancients. Ive started on a few recently as they have been common on Radiant for some reason and could easily solo one...as long as my 3 and a half hour buff lasted. 
Reckon itll take 2 hours though solo to be honest...not really worth it.
Reckon itll take 2 hours though solo to be honest...not really worth it.The recent Gorax hunt spawned some much weaker than the natural spawns on endor, but the ones we took on Lok were fairly easy.
Tusken Executioner/Observer/Witch Doctors are all ok aswell...the only thing that I know I cant tank is Super Battle Droids...im not sure ive taken on strong jedi NPC's though.
I do have Master Brawler and some TKA defences which help...but people usually complement Swords with something else...and of course good armour, buffs and brandy are all required.

I went head to head with a dark Jedi master the other day. It was me and 2 other people. One of them was a Jedi and I was doing more damage then he was. It was funny as hell cause the Jedi would run up hit him a few times then run off and start throwing his lightsaber. The other guy was a BH. I'm not saying I can solo a dark Jedi master but out of a BH and a Jedi me as a master swordsman was the only one that could tank him and do most of the damage.

As master swordsman/fencer and soon to be master brawler, I have tanked a giant krayt, haven't run across an ancient yet and haven't done Kimos or Gorax. Have done elders with protectors/slaves/spellweavers circling without any trouble, just takes a while. The real question you should be asking is if the time it takes to kill these high ham MOBs is worth it. I joined with a rifleman the other day and we did two canyons and didn't get a drop of loot. I helped out with Bria's first Dark Jedi Knight (/bow to lord-yarpen) and tanked his giant while the group whittled it down little by little and we didn't get a single pearl/tissue.. nada!!. and I'm maxed on 2hand exp and combat exp, so if no loot drop, then what's the point??? As far as Giant Krayts go, If you have a good store of STIMs it isn't too bad. The only problem comes with the dizzy/kd as you do 0 damage while you're flat on your back, but still take damage.
IMHO, if you're just looking to kill what you can for the heck of it, then save your time/money and go do ER missions on Dath. With a set of ubese I can take an entire lair with spin attack in about 6 mins (I know, a little long, but I don't have a real high damage scythe/hammer), loot all the rancs (the only problem is sorting through the huge pile of them on top of the lair) and make 36-39k per mission. So, basically, drop 10k on your buffs, another 10k on your entertainer buffs and spend the next 3 hours killing ERs at 36k/msn. easy way to make a couple million.
the most important thing is........HAVE FUN!!!
