is there a way to turn down the flashiness of spells and effects? or a way to make my cursor more obvious? sometimes it takes me a few seconds to locate it.

Not sure the add on name I’m sure it’s googleable but it adds a tail to your cursor so you can see it.
Ya it’s like these MMOs lately are made by ‎Michael Bay.

There was a CVar to increase the size of the cursor. I think it was:
/console cursorsizepreferred int
int = 0, 1, 2
thanks all
In the mouse settings in your Windows control panel, i turned on the “show location of pointer when i press the CTRL key” box, under pointer options.
There are other things you can do to make your cursor more visible. If you are running windows, there is also a setting for your computer that you can enable that allows you to press a certain key (I believe the default is left control) to make your cursor form a yellow circle around it.
Other than that, I would look at your graphics settings and just turn down the settings that might make your mouse hard to locate.
Might I suggest to you the following addon?
https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/cursortrail
Its highly customizable and helps to draw more attention to your cursor 
I know several people who have the same issue of losing their cursor in the chaos of battle that use this addon. I also use to use this addon myself and highly recommend it!

If you have weakauras installed you can use a weakaura to make it more visible and im sure there are other addons that assist with that as well

Might give it a try tbh. It’s not an issue like 95% of the time, but in a mess of AoE and nameplates, especially when forcibly zoomed in thanks to tight hallways in places like Waycrest or Tol Dagor, yeah, it gets lost sometimes.
Move your mouse down-left for 1-2 seconds and then flash it up-right again, should go across the center.
Sweet! Now I have a big hand which means I have…

i have pointer trails enabled. it helps, but i use a razer mouse, and many times it seems as if my pointer teleports off to some unexpected part of the screen.

Was in a bg with what looked like 5 or more multibox DHS.
As a healer my screen was a difficult mix of flying angry elves.

This is why they call it a cursor: cuz when you lose track of it, you start cursing.

Once you grab the addon, you can find cursor weakauras here: https://wago.io/search/cursor
I use this one, myself: https://wago.io/zz1woAbnN
Although I need to change the texture or make it larger, haven’t decided which. Some class colors can still get lost on a busy screen.
