Pounce is good to keep.

Reasons not to get reflect for it:

1) Nix can't take a physical beating like a herc.
2) Much of what you use a Nix for is Magic/ Range mobs that don't get deflect dmg.
3) Nix doesn't need the aggro help of reflect
4) Reflect would do such a small percentage of dmg compared to it's base atk.

all correct.

5) Pounce is great in PvP. A useful stun + 15% faster attack speed for 30 seconds. You'll find you will be able to take down most people before the stun is finished meaning you take no damage. Also the 15% attack speed bonus adds a lot more nix damage than most would think.

nothing outdoors will give herc a physical beating, phoenix can tank about 95% of the quest bosses needed for cultivations (not krimson, DOD, or mantavip, from what i recall)
the reflect damage is based off what hercs def is like without the buff taken into account, thats why TT bosses reflect damage is so high.

why on earth would you think youd only use phoenix on mostly ranged and magic mobs? most mobs are physical. although im not a supporter of reflect + phoenix, im just saying your reasons why are kind of weird.

if you want to remove pounce, get bash

I've tanked mantavip with my nix, however I had a low level cleric healing me from the AoE's
