Take a look at Clerics. They buff. They deal damage. They can hit things. They have a range of proficiencies. They're a full caster. They have their own smite effect that doesn't cost a resource. They do so much. The reason they're allowed to is because their spell lists are terrible at being selfish. Almost everything they do in terms of spells is about helping others succeed. Compare that to a Sorcerer, and you'll see the trend I'm talking about.
