Kakashi is know as the copy ninja. He is supposed to know over a thousand techniques; most of those do not require the sharingan to use. He might still have the Kubikiribōchō. He has very good chakra control and since he does not need to use it on the eye he can use the shadow clone technique, or other chakra intensive ninjutsus. Do not forget that although he might not be able to use lighting cutter, he can still use the rasengan and three or four nature transformations. All told he might not be Kage level anymore, but he is still a jōnin and ANBU ninja.
