Swordmen already have a shield that increases damage, why isn't it the case for the other two weapon classes? "B-but Swiftstrike!" No, it doesn't count, since we swordsmen can use that thing too.
I demand equality for all roles.
Gunner's Shield, Bomber's Shield?

I would go for Bombers getting elemental (again) and Gunslingers getting Shadow, just for the (mild) troll factor. Also thematic purposes.
Although Bombers can max out every currently existing stat with full Chaos/Mad Bomber and an Elite Boom trinket, the usefulness of Swiftstrike for bombers is somewhat debatable, and they'd probably benefit more from another shield type. And while Gunslingers like myself frequently make use of Swiftstrike, it's still a 3* shield with universal bonuses and fairly poor defensive power. Having a middle ground available for both rather than just a straight tradeoff between defensive power and offensive power would be nice.
It's been brought up before, but the idea kind of got relegated. Still, +1

@aure also +1
-_- bombers don't need another elemental item for them aure, if any thing having shadow would make more seance as they don't have any armor that provides defense towards it so having a shield that resists it would be very useful. The bomber shield should have + movement speed high for bombs (as the movement is given to the weapons). "BUT WAFFLE THEN PEOPLE WILL JUST BRING A BOMB AND USE IT AS A SPEED TOOL D:" so? that won't undermined the shield and would give players more reasons to bring a bomb with them. A easy way to beat this problem would be to make it you need to be using a 5* level 10 bomb to get the full effect, for instant, you only get low speed boost with bomb if it is 2* stars and bellow level 10. Speed boost medium for 3* bombs that are level 10 as well as 4* bombs. Once the bomb is 5 star and level 10 you would get the full speed boost.

I agree with wolf at the top.
In general they do need to give love equally to all classes.
@Waffle The description you made would be nice, and somewhat applicable. The issue is that the effect that that you're asking for is too complicated for SK mechanics/ it doesn't fit in with the way they have made their effects/boosts.
I believe Damage bonus, for the proper Bomber Shield (like barbarous thorn shield) is appropriate. Possibly adding CTR High FOR BOMBS ONLY on the Swiftstrike would be more appropriate? That way it helps bombers in a similar manner as guns and swords.
I'm thinking if you wanted to branch out, have each shield have normal + one of the other damage types. As in, Swords get piercing; Guns get elemental; and Bombs get Shadow.
Just a thought.
