Is it possible to use Warrior attacks such as Thrill of Victory, Desperation Blow, Bull's Strike, etc while using a bow?

Not sure about all of them, since I'm not to familiar with the warrior line.

Bull's Strike is a melee attack, so a bow wouldn't work. If there are any stances in there, I suppose they will, but you should check the skill descriptions for the type of skill. Any that specify a particular weapon or a non-ranged attack would, I think, have no use for a bowman.

Well, This is what it says in one of my Attribute Calculator thingies... It doesn't say it is a melee attack.

Bull's Strike (Attack)
If this attack hits a fleeing foe, you strike for +23 damage, and your target is knocked down.
Casting cost: 5 energy
Casting time: 0 sec
Recharge time: 8 sec
Relevant attribute: Strength

Ah. One of the site listings I saw indicated that it was melee only -- I guess you'll have to wait for someone who's tried it out!

Check on some website then... here at guru or KT for instance. Those 3 skills are melee attacks.

They're melee attacks. You can't use a ranged weapon with a melee attack. A bow is ranged, so...

for the same reason you can't use a bow attack with a melee weapon. And you can't use most preps with a melee weapon. They just don't work that way. Things like Frenzy affect both ranged and melee weapons, though.
