Nothing dumb a$$ about it at all really. Good plug wires shouldn't arc and spark like that. And a little water isn't going to hurt good wires.
A "leaky" wire can even spark to a ground if there's humidity in the air, but it might be hard to spot depending on where it's located.

 

Oh, well it just didnt look right to me, looked like it could cause some pretentious damage in the long term!

 

Naaaaah, doing that just gives the spark a different way out.
Now, grabbing that sparky wire with your bare hand...... that would be a dumb move!

 

...Done that before.

 

Thanks for all the replies I took it out today to try and narrow the issue down and the car had no issues. so that means the problem is caused when the engine gets hot . I also noticed after letting it idle for 15 mins there was water leaking from the brace underneath the cat converter and a lot from the muffler. Would a likely cause of the engine trouble be coming from a plugged cat converter. /crossfingers i hope not
Thanks for the help
Coil packs changed no difference spark plugs/wires good. gotta pick up a new fuel filter
