The short answer is no, but there are still some parts of the game even total genuises at calculation are still working out. Charge attack has largely been seperated from normal melee attack damage. Organ shatter, for example, does NOT affect charge damage, in fact nearly any mod does not affect charge damage unless it says "charge damage" specifically, in which case it does not affect your normal melee strikes. what DOES affect charge damage is elemental mods and the bad ass mods that drop from nightmare mode.

The glaive has a really low critical chance (5%) so I wouldn't recommend a crit build. HOWEVER, it is built for stealth play, so if you have Ash or Loki, and can be invisible this changes things. Somebody else is going to have to verify if a charge attack when you are invisible with the glaive can crit (I don't know, just started building mine... anyone?). Normal weapons, you become visible at the end of the charge, so when the strike animation starts you show up and can't cirt (all the you will still do a truck ton of damage and a good deal of armor ignore in that stike).
