If I could offer a word of advice, do 3 Cloaked Wards but don't complete the objective until the last day of the week before reset (Monday for US, Tuesday for EU) so that you can keep the cloak. It's super useful for doing the other dailies in Perdition Hold.

You can use the cloak to restealth, even in combat.
The quest isn't all that bad, and can be done solo, even as non-stealth class. You can simply click a rune and click your cloak again to restealth. It can be tricky sometimes - if you aggro a spellcaster mob and a projectile is fired as you're restealthing, it'll knock you out. The cloak has a 10 second CD, so just stay alive for that long and restealth again.
Note that once you click a ward you will immediately turn visible and aggro everything nearby

Description
The towering citadel in the distance is protected by perilous walls, but its greatest dangers cannot be seen with mortal eyes. The Mawsworn have placed invisible runes of warding throughout Perdition Hold. These traps have caught many intruders unaware. The runes can be dispelled, but only if you can see them. I believe one of their soulcloaks should give you the sight you require. Good luck.
