Key

• S. = Status
• + = Buffed Damage
• Lumber family will always inflict Status. Hence S.Smash is referred to as Smash.
• All info in the chart is how much health is remaining form the Shield Bar.
• If a Shield has the highest possible resistance on it, the Shield will not see the second variable on the attack. Thus a Volcanic Plate Shield will always see 77% against a non-buffed Stun Attack and a Crest of Almire will always see 68% against the buff attack. With or without the status being applied.
• As a note, Omega Shell has much higher health than all other shields, hence the different damage tables.
• Another note, just because status inflicts a majority of damage, it's still highly suggested that you don't go and take a shield with no resistance to the damage about to be inflicted. Hence, don't take a Dragon Scale Shield to withstand a Pepperkat or Slag Walker, it will survive a hit, but it'll hurt like heck.

Info/Theory

Based on a topic brought up on the forums about Shields breaking from Lumbers, I began searching for my answer on the forums.

Currently a Shield may gain immunity to a Status as long as the Shield has a maxed-out resistance (IE: Known as a Double-MAX UV, which cannot be obtained normally).

The Status resistance difference seems to be 36% - 38% of the Shield's health. And on Elite, the chance of enemies inflicting damage, making a huge difference in damage. Meaning that it's better to take along a Shield with Status Resistance to the challenge you face rather than Defense.
