Yes, status inflicting shields.
Not when shield bumping, though - Only on shield bashes.

Fire: Blazebreak Shield, Dragon Scale Shield, Heater Shield.
Freeze: Blizzbreaker Shield.
Shock: Surgebreaker Shield.
Poison: Dread Skelly Shield.
Curse: Barbarous Thorn Shield (lower chance than usual).

This will likely result in those shields being slightly nerfed somewhere else though....
All shields already inflict stun when shield bashing (?).
See one thing about shields is that they can't deal a status they resist, as that makes them only effective half of the time you should be using them.
More unique shield bashes would be something I'd accept with open arms. Heater shield dealing fire and stun on its bash would be nice, and I think that the teddy bear buckler could inflict sleep instead of stun on its bash (can't be abused in lockdown and whatnot and only affects enemies, so it's not out of place as we still have sleep vials).
If the breaker shields dealt more damage on their shield bash on an enemy that the shield resists, that'd be neat. Having it inflict a second status that they resist is a no.
What would be neat would be if plate shields spawned a guardian shield aura around you when you used it for a split second, so you can't take damage while shield bashing. Gives those shields more oomph to 'em.
Stun? (Plate shield, lol,) but, good, and more weapons should be added later... 'cause some of these shields only go to 3*, and there aren't many in the first place. Also, blocking should have a slight chance of inflictions. Less than bashing of course.
