At low level, there is no build permanence.
At max level, if you choose to change your build you will lose the stacking gold/magic find bonus that comes from defeating successive champion/boss monsters. So the cost of changing builds will probably be 60-100% magic find. (Until you kill 5 champion packs with your new one)
Doesn't stop you from changing when you start a new game or playing for the day, but makes changing your build each time you meet a new enemy very suboptimal. (Especially since you cannot easily swap skills in combat, even if you can do it without dying you have to wait 30 additional seconds to use the ability. On any difficulty that matters, that means a town portal to change.)
