It's not really a problem with the damage spells as it is more related to enemies having vastly inflated stats and HP and/or enemies often having special abilities they don't have in D&D. Had Larian implemented the 5E more closely, the game would be far better balanced.
As it stands I mostly use my spell slots for things like Counterspell, etc.
