Let Dissolution spawn [only] outside slime pits
There are two problems with it.
First, by the time it's met, it isn't challenging anymore. Dissolution is acid-flavored monster in acid-flavored branch, and player encounters it when they are supposed to be able to take on TRJ. The slime priest has two attacks opposed to TRJ's one, but TRJ is 1.4 times faster and spawns more jellies when hurt. Dissolution also summons eyeballs, but does anybody fight far from stairs in Slime:1-4? All of this means that Dissolution is redundant to TRJ.
Second, it's much easier to evade than other uniques due to nature of slime pits. Almost nobody explores upper floors of slime pits because there is no loot there. I think in 66% of games where Dissolution spawns players don't encounter it because they take stairs in different section of the floor.
If it were possible to encounter Dissolution in Depths and Crypt, it would appear in more games and actually carry some surprise factor.
