If you are using scoped address (e.g. link-local address, site-local address),
yes, you have to specify interface with "%". Because if you ping to link-local
address on a machine which have two (or more) interfaces, kernel can't decide
outgoing interface without specifying outgoing interface explicitly.

You'd better see following texts to understand further details.
