Savage is not "too difficult". It's just not for everyone. And BiS is something you only need to do ultimates fights or speedkills. Having a decent gear is enough to clear savages (relic gear and a few tomestones spent here and there should do the trick). As long as you're ilvl480+ you're good to go.

I can't beleive people think they can decide if something is balanced or not by only judging from their own perspective...
