Tanker is generally a Stance tank warrior, basically depending on what area they take different stances, the whole point is that they generally try to take all agro from monsters so the monks have an easier healing job.

Echo Nuker is an Elementalist/Mesmer who uses the skill Meteor Shower but also uses Archane Echo which copies the next spell you use so they can effectivly cast 2 meteor showers within a short amount of time (some use Glyph of Renewal but they are generally known as Renewal Nukers).

RE: Terminology help 

ah right thanks,

so if a tanker took a stance which gives better chance of blocking etc, he/she would go agro all the enemies so monks can heal easier, but what happens wen the rest the team attack? do the enemies stay on the tank or attack the rest the team lol

and thanks about the nuker news :)

If the team uses AoE spells generally the enemies will split up and then move onto attacking the rest of the group, it is something that is a problem but cant really be avoided unless the tanker is holding a quest item in which case all enemies will usually go straight back towards the tanker.

Edit: for a bit more information about getting aggro of groups try this guide: Here

RE: Terminology help 

tank would usually hold an object, like keg or gear in SF, which makes enemies attack him/her.

carries both echo and arcane echo, thereby launching 3 meteor showers in about 10 secs

Thats pretty cool! I didn't know people listened to them, I can never find anybody. If you like trivium and haven't heard the song "Like Light to The Flies" then they haven't lived. Go listen to it now!! I command you!
