a new element wouldn't really add any new dimensions to it, when you add a new status you get new affects but the only thing a new element does is more weapons which they don't need new element as an excuse for more weapons

though wind element would make sense

maybe a wind status where after so many wind attacks it causes the monster to be pushed back
