Power charge on critical hit and Multistrike interraction

I'm wondering if anyone has tried out these to in combination.

All charge generating abilities are as per default limited to one charge gained / attack. But since multistrike makes you perform 3 attacks, does that mean that you could potentially (if lucky) get up to 3 power charges per click? Or does all 3 attacks made with multistrike still count as one three staged attack?
Whether you crit or not is rolled at the beginning of the multistrike attack. If you crit, you should have 3 chances to gain a power charge, as you'll crit 3 times. If you don't crit, you will attack 3 times with zero chance to crit and therefore no chance to gain power charges. There's no in between.

Let's say you have 33% chance to crit, multistrike will one third of the time crit 3x, and the other two thirds will crit 0 times.


For the record, I'm not a fan of this mechanic, it seems like it would be better to roll a crit each attack, rather than each series of attacks. But that's just me.

The in-between and I believe the entire question is asking will Power Charge on Critical roll its chance to gain a power charge on each of the 3 crits separately or will it roll at the beginning as the crit chance does and grant 0 or 3 respectively.

Basically, could you gain 1 or 2 charges from a 3 crit multistrike?
i too fas fo youuuuuuu
Yes, I am wondering wheter or not you can gain upwards to 3 power charges (if you're lucky that is) just by clicking once if you have a multistrike. Or if the game will count all three attacks as one, limiting it to one power charge.
Bumpity.

Anybody knows or have the 2 gems and can try? :$
