Yeah, because nobody but you have used him before right? lel.

Moriarty is neither "beyond amazing" nor sub-par, he's in between as unique Archer that are luxury option for certain niche and enabler for certain strategy. For JP server what you described is tad normal and can be done by a lot of individual servant. Majority of them doesn't have moriarty high star weight which is demerit for a support.

If you wanna know what "beyond amazing" support DPS looks like then look at Beni Enma, Sherlock Holmes or Ereshkigal and to some degree Shuten Douji and Jeanne Alter. Those are the top benchmark for support DPS so far have several similiarities like :

1. non crippling star weight; therefore don't hinder the main DPS

2. Easy to access or synergize buff and debuff; most just one tap away

3. Multiple utility in one servant; when one servant gave you 2 servant or more strategical advantage that's when you know it's broken.

4. Capable of taking care of their own with survival kit on top of damage kit; therefore the main support can focus on the main attacker and you're not forced to babysit them for survival.

5. Relatively OP by their own right as main attacker, capable of going toe to toe with all offensive servant despite being sub-DPS in their kit.

Moriarty at least filled the 3rd now and maybe 5th one but not so for the rest.
