Just to be clear will parry be usable with a bare hand MA? As "(and having a martial arts/melee weapon equipped) " confuses me a tad. Does the OP mean (and having a "martial arts"/"melee weapon" equipped) OR (and having a "martial arts"/"melee" weapon equipped).
This.
But, to clear up any confusion (and hopefully not confuse the masses while I'm at it!) here's a more detailed explanation.
Whenever you do not have an item equipped in your hands, the game uses your Martial Arts skill to determine what QL of a "Martial Arts weapon" you actually use should you choose to fight something. That way you can "fight unarmed" instead of using a rifle/pistol/whatever.
The main difference between Martial Artists and everyone else is that MA's use a better set of "MA Weapons" than everyone else. I forget exactly how the progression goes from best to worst, but MA's are at the top of the list when it comes to "MA Weapon" usage. I think Chronita's guide described it best.
So, if you were to do some digging through any of the database dump websites out there, check out melee and martial arts weapons. Check for the "Parry" and "Is Parriable/Can Be Parried" flags. These will be your clues that Parry skills will apply.
If I misspoke about any of this, please feel free to correct me. My leet theory-crafting skills are a little rusty for AO.
