what are the benefits of leveling up?

Increased armour/resistance/damage? I'd like to know what concrete benefits leveling up provides.

I have screenshot my character before and after levelling and can only find two benefits to levelling...

1. - Your level number will increase...
2. - You gain more hitpoints (8 when going from level 2 to level 3).

So it seems levelling is strictly about hitpoint gain and dungeon/mob difficulty is simply having enough hitpoints for their level... which explains why I can do a level 4 dungeon with a party of 3 level 2 hunters/trappers since they can kill most anything at that level without being hit.

You also gain +1 attack damage for each level you advance.

Don‘t neglect the healing aspect aswell as the 2 focus replenishment.

I think defensive stats might increase also, but not sure. I'll keep an eye on it while I play tonight.
