These types of questions are best answered when you have 'no skill drain' activated. I like to put a portal down near an enemy who's parry-ability I want to test. When I die, I run to my portal room, grab my best shield / food, and have at it. Turns out you can parry almost anything. I only say almost because I haven't got the best gear in-game yet.

If you are unsure *don't Eff around and find out!* It's so easy to get into a situation where you get stun-locked and you're megascrewed.

But yes, as has been said, 99.99% of everything physical can be parried with the right gear/timing.

Just remember: 0.5% of your block skill is added to your BLOCK ARMOR stat on your shield. Multiple that number by your PARRY MULTIPLIER. As long as that number is higher than the damage the enemy does (and you have enough stam / stagger), you'll parry.

Im pretty sure you can parry literally all mobs with the carapace buckler. The black metal shield should be enough for all no star mobs, perhaps even all 1 star mobs.
