RMB Mouse Moving - lose cursor

Hi, the focus of this question is PVP which is pretty much all I do in this game…

I’m wondering how people manage to keep track of their mouse cursor in the event that you need to click target someone or target a ground-targeting spell.

I use RMB to move my character a LOT and in doing so I’m swinging my mouse around the table. So when I need to locate my cursor and click somewhere on the screen I am often delayed because I cannot find the cursor easily.

Does anyone have any tips for improving in this way? One thought I had was to greatly increase the mouse sensitivity so I don’t have to move it so far while moving around – however, this will take some serious time to get used to and will probably cost me a lot in terms of getting my butt kicked in pvp.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

I would lose track of my cursor when in battle sometimes. It was an issue. Around a week ago while teaching my grandmother how to use her computer I stumbled upon a solution I’ve already implemented myself:
1) on your Mac, in Finder, go to system preferences
2a) in newer OS, it’s under Appearance
2b) in older OS, it’s under Universal Access
3) Mouse tab
4) move the Cursor Size up
it defaults to ‘Normal’, which is the minimum it can be. largest is about 4 times bigger.
changing this will also change the size of the cursor in GW2 Setting it to the largest makes the GW2 cursor almost completely cover my tall asura. I set mine to about 2x normal size, and I know there’s no way I’ll lose the cursor in battle again
a quick google search says this is also possible on windows, but I don’t know if it affects GW2 as well.
